Might be useful here. 1. Create a program in which parent process forks few children and put sleep in child processes. 2. Configure the kdump so that we can generate the crash. 3. While running the program generate the the crash using sysrq and capture it. 4. Analyse the dump using crash <http://people.redhat.com/anderson/crash_whitepaper/>tool for Parent-children, Sibling relation. refer page 90-91 of UTLK<http://books.google.co.in/books?id=h0lltXyJ8aIC&pg=PA79&source=gbs_toc_r&cad=4#v=onepage&q&f=false> Hope this helps. -- Regards, Neependra www.neependra.net
