It appears that the core file is a dump of (old/over-age) data in your RAM. Computers sometimes dump data from RAM onto hard-disk when the data is not needed.
To remove it go to your home directory (or any directory where the dumped file is), and use 'rm <name of the core dump file>' e.g rm /u/usr/home/joao/dump. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joao Miguel Ferreira Sent: Friday, July 20, 2007 4:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Solaris-Users] strange big file on my HOME Hello all, there is a big (57 MB) file on my home dir called 'core'...
