Missing Core Dumps

Shutdowns on Unix almost always cause the system to dump a core file, usually in the directory from which the process initially loaded.

If no core dump file is generated, you might need to enable core files, as described below:

Enabling Core Files
Solaris in the /etc/system file, set
sys:coredumpsize=MAX_SIZE_OF_CORE_DUMP_FILE
AIX Use:
ulimit -c unlimited

and

chdev -l sys0 -a fullcore=true
