#!/bin/sh # $Id$ # lame quickie script to snarf a core of a hung asterisk process. # bugs to ast_grab_core, blinky-lights.org (derrick daugherty) # we have found that gcore doesn't yield as useful a core file # as that yielded by a signal-caused core dump. So we are going to change # the strategy to sending a SEGV signal to the asterisk process, # and have it 'burn to the ground', leaving behind a core file. # the main difference is that you cannot control where the # core file will end up. We will assume that safe_asterisk was # used to start asterisk, and the core file should therefore end # up in /tmp (because safe_asterisk cd's there before starting asterisk). # if this is not the case, set DUMPDIR to the place where the core # file can be found.
