On sparc the hardware supports crash dumps - press Stop-A (or send a RS-232C `break' signal if you've got a serial console attached), and then type "sync" at the PROM. At least, that's how you do it when it's running Solaris :-), I'm not sure what is required in terms of how far the OS needs to have gotten before that works - as normally the image is written into swap space. Or how you extract it from swap or decode it into a stack trace ... perhaps lkcd on Sparc uses this mechanism. hmm on second thoughts maybe Magic SysReq would be simpler :-) -- Sam Vilain, [EMAIL PROTECTED] If it doesn't have recursive function calls, real software engineers don't program in it. _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.solucorp.qc.ca/mailman/listinfo/vserver
