You can use a file I used to use I found on freshmeat to automatically
remove all core files regularly. It was called urmcore and ran out of
crontab. Doing it this way gives you the ability to have and examine some
core files to try and determine what causes them or why they happen. Not
much use to most users. Great for programmers or someone wanting to report
bugs or track missing libs.
You can place the line
ulimit -c 0
in ~/.bash_profile (individual user) or /etc/profile (all users) and keep
them from being created at all. Great if you don't care what causes them
but just don't want them in the first place.
