    List the Core Files Generated by the Crash

    Purpose

    To list the core files generated by the crash.

    Action

    To list the core files, follow these steps:

    1. Exit from the CLI environment and create a UNIX-level shell by entering the start shell command:
      user@host> start shell
    2. Type su and the root password when prompted. You are now in the shell and the prompt is % instead of >, for example:
      % su Password: ****
    3. Change the directory to /var/crash and type ls -l, for example:
      root@host% cd /var/crash root@host% ls -l
    4. Look for any core files created around the time of the crash.

    Sample Output

    user@host> start shell
    % su
    Password: ****
    root@host% cd /var/crash
    root@host% ls -l
    total 456630
