- Hello,
- Maybe someone form SGI can answer this question for me. There are times
- when I run an application and it bombs. When it bombs the disk goes berserk and then
- writes out huge (appr. 200Mbytes) core file. Is there any way to limit the size of a
- core dump. Like maybe
-
- limitcoredumpsize
-
- Your insight into this will be much appreciated.
-
- While I'm at it maybe you can answer these two questions that I have:
-
- - When you log out, you get a window asking asking you
- whether you are sure you want to log out. The question
- is, can you avoid this window from coming up ie when you
- choose logout, you get logged out w/o any questions. I was
- thinking that maybe you could put some statement in your
- .Xdefaults file.
-
- - If in the unforeseen circumstance you have to reboot the
- machine w/o going through proper channels is it better to
- - hit the reset button on the CPU box
- OR
- - press <Ctrl>,<Shift>,<F12>,and the </> on the keypad
- Which is safer and recommended more?
-
- Thanks for your time and hoping to hear from you soon. You can mail your response
- directly to me at my mailing address.
