How to name core files uniquely

[DGRFL]

Hello,

I have a first process that produces a core dump. Unfortunately other programs crash immediately and overwrite the initial core dump.

On Sun Solaris and Compaq TRU 64, one has the possibility to configure the kernel to produce core files like :

core.process1.1
core.process2.1
core.process2.2

These include a sequence number and process name.

Is there any possibility to configure AIX accordingly ?

Regards,

Luc

Not that I am aware of.

Through another channel, I got this information.

It is only possible to generate a unique name (PID / timestamp) in AIX 5L.

This is documented in SG245765, AIX 5L Differences Guide.
