cd to another directory before starting the program.


This won't work most of the time because a lot of programs are not started 
by me as user. For example npviewer.bin core dumps a lot because of bad 
flash. But npviewer.bin is started by Firefox, not by me.

changing place of .core files

2010-01-16 Thread Marco Beishuizen
Normally when a program crashes, it places a .core file in the 
homefilesystem. Is there a way of changing the filesystem where FreeBSD 
places it's core dumps?


Thanks in advance,
Marco

Contrary to what you may have heard, silence of those present is
not necessarily consent, even the reluctant variety.  They simply may
sit in stunned silence and figure ways of sabotaging the plan after they
regain their composure.
