Parameters

off: Disables core file generation.

maxcore value: Enables core file generation and sets the maximum number of core files, in the range of

1 to 10.

name process-name: Specifies a process by its name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 15 characters. The

process core command applies to all instances of the process.

job job-id: Specifies a process by its job ID in the range of 1 to 2147483647. The job ID does not change

after the process restarts.

slot slot-number: Specifies a card by its slot number. If you do not specify this option, the active MPU is

specified. (MSR4000)

Usage guidelines

This command enables the system to generate a core file each time the specified process crashes until the

maximum number of core files is reached. A core file records the exception information.

Because the core files consume system storage resources, you can disable core file generation for

processes for which you do not need to review exception information.

Examples

# Disable core file generation for process routed.

<Sysname> process core off name routed
