List the Daemon Core Files
Purpose
To list the daemon core files.
Action
To list the daemon core files, follow these steps:
- Exit from the CLI environment and create a UNIX-level
shell by entering the start shell command:user@host> start shell
- Type su and the root password when prompted. You are now in
the shell and the prompt is % instead of >, for
example:% su Password: ****
- Change the directory to /var/tmp and type ls -l, for example:root@host% cd /var/tmp root@host% ls -l
- Look for any daemon core files created around the time of the crash.
Sample Output
user@host> start shell
% su Password: **** root@host% cd /var/tmp root@host% ls -l total 1292618 -rw-rw---- 1 root field 119713792 Nov 17 21:58 rpd.core.0 -rw-rw---- 1 root field 120782848 Nov 17 22:12 rpd.core.1
Meaning
The sample output lists the contents of the /var/tmp directory and shows the current core file (rpd.core.1) and one previous core file (rpd.core.0) for the routing protocol daemon (rpd). For each daemon, you can have a total of five core files in the /var/tmp directory: the current core file and the four previous core files numbered 0 through 4 (from oldest to newest).
