Set Core Dump Path in Linux

To set the core dump generation path in a Linux system, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open a terminal window and enter the following command to view the current system’s core dump generation path:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
  1. To change the core dump generation path, you can use the following command:
sudo sysctl -w kernel.core_pattern=/path/to/dumpfile

Replace /path/to/dumpfile with the path where you want to generate the core dump.

  1. To ensure the settings take effect, you can either restart the system or execute the following command.
sudo sysctl -p
  1. Please confirm that the core dump path has been successfully configured, and you can re-enter the following command to check:
cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern

By following the steps above, you can successfully set the core dump generation path in the Linux system.
