did you miss this? >> me@ant(14)~$ ulimit -a >> real-time non-blocking time (microseconds, -R) unlimited >> core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited i had accomplished the ulimit change already, but the lack of the proper permission on the output directory meant that a core file would not be generated. also, i wanted to make sure that all programs running would be able to dump core upon crashing because i have some kind of strange lock up going on and i'm not sure what it is coming from. so i want all processes for all users to be able to be able to be recorded if it happens again. just trying to catch this if i can. it happens once in a while. not too often. songbird
