How to use core dump

[ksamson]

1. When you have an application running and suddenly the application crash or not responding. What kind of signal apart from kill would be the best to send to the application in order for it to start responding.


2. How can someone use the core dump file to analyse the reason or cause of the above problem.

Thanks

Dear ksamson,

First read about what is Core Dump.

FYI, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_dump and http://acs.ucsd.edu/info/coredump.php

Best Regards.
