I can login and cleanly reboot the server, so doing something like the above to get a core dump is definitely doable, I'd just never seen a reference to a 'kill -6 1' before for doing that ... Side question to this though ... I remember awhile back using a 'client-server' mechanism that allowed me to dump core to a seperate server ... it was so long ago that my memory is faint, but there was a reason why I couldn't dump to the local server ... not sure whatever happened to that code, but, if one can do that for dumping core, shouldn't there be some method possible to connect to DDB over the Ethernet without having to have a serial console in place? For the core dump case, the ethernet obviously stayed up while it dump'd, couldn't some sort of 'ddb.conf' file be setup that would allow it to ifconfig an IP within that shell so that you could connect to it remotely? say with an 'from-ip' directive?
