Set Core Dump Path in Linux
To set the core dump generation path in a Linux system, you can follow these steps:
- 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
- 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.
- To ensure the settings take effect, you can either restart the system or execute the following command.
sudo sysctl -p
- 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.
