1. Changing Core File path The syscorepath utility, provided with AIX v5.2 or highter, can be used to specify a single system-wide directory where all core files of any processes will be saved. The syntax for this command is: syscorepath -p alternate_directory The syscorepath command enables a system administrator to set up a single system-wide directory in which to dump core files from any processes. This can ease administrative tasks in managing file-system space and provides a single, known directory in which to find core files. By default, the core file is created in the working directory of the process being coredumped. The directory should have read and write privileges for all users on the system. If a user does not have permission to write in the directory, a core file will not be created. Core files will be given unique names based on the process ID and time, so a core file will be named core.pid.MMddhhmmss, where pid is the process ID, MM is month, dd is the day of t...
