savecore — Save a Crash Dump of the Operating System
Synopsis
/usr/bin/savecore [-Lvd][-f dumpfile] directory
Description
System crashes can occur because of hardware malfunctions, I/O problems, and software errors. If the system crashes, it displays an error message on the console and then writes a copy of its physical memory to the dump device. The system then reboots automatically. When the system reboots, the savecore command is invoked by /etc/init.d/savecore to retrieve the data from the dump device and write the saved crash dump to the savecore directory. The saved crash dump files provide valuable information to aid in diagnosing the problem. If savecore is enabled by way of dumpadm(1M), savecore is enabled on reboot by default.
