Hi,

I have a program that was running on solaris. I ported it to 7.3 redhat linux. After running for long time, it crashed. Is there anything equivalent to core in linux that i can use to find what went wrong.

Thanks,
R.

Yes. Linux has core files which is what I think that you are referring too. They are core dumps of crashed programs. Use gbd to look at them. You can probably find out how to turn on core files and how to use them by looking at the gbd documentation.
