Thanks Andrej and Manish. I will try to see if I can use logrotat or atleast buy the logic from it. Thanks, SADA On Thu, May 26, 2011 at 10:55 PM, Manish Katiyar <mkatiyar@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi All, I have a situation like below. I am using RHEL 5.
I have multiple user processes running on my machine. I have set the appropriate sizes for core file size. But my process maangement demon is designed to restart any process that terminates. Hence the process starts up again. If I have a very bad nasty defect, it will keep on filling my machine with core files until I run out of space on the partition.
My Questions:
Is there a provision in Linux to automatically cleanup the old corefiles when we reach a certain limit ? Is there a provision in Linux to set a upper limit for space occupied by all core files (not individual core files) ?
Any inputs appreciated.
May be "man logrotate" can help.
