/processname/exec/errors/core.filename

[Gina Borden]

I have some very large files in my /exec/errors/ directories.  I’m not sure what these files are for, and if it is ok to delete them or not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Gina

Gina,

Hi from Vincennes IN

I just looked in that directory on our system and it is empty.  Could you give us some files names??

./qdx5.3/integrator/wcch/exec/errors/core.wcv0.12_27_2008.0:56:3

Here is one of the filenames

That one is beyond me  😕

Sorry

Gina,

There was a serious error in the wcch Cloverleaf(R) site on 12/27/2008 @00:56:03 (I think) – serious enough to cause a core dump. The file you see is that core dump.

Take a look a the processes and/or error logs to see what might have happened at that time.

Determine what caused the error(s) and correct them.

Once you understand what is causing the core dumps (and especially if you have resolved the issue) I think you can delete the file(s).

To answer the question, “Is it okay to get rid of the files in the errors directory?” (we have been doing it for many years without problems).

We have a clean_dirs.ksh script that runs nightly and you will notice one of the entries removes file(s) older than 30 days from the errors directory you are asking about.

#/usr/bin/ksh

find $HCIROOT -name core -exec rm {} ; 2>/dev/null

find /oldmsgs -type f -mtime +90 -exec rm {} ;
find /oldmsgs/5.2.1P2/prod_doc_mgt/ob_tran_3004 -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} ;

site_list=`list_sites.ksh`
for site in $site_list; do

[code]#/usr/bin/ksh

find $HCIROOT -name core -exec rm {} ; 2>/dev/null

find /oldmsgs -type f -mtime +90 -exec rm {} ;
find /oldmsgs/5.2.1P2/prod_doc_mgt/ob_tran_3004 -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} ;

site_list=`list_sites.ksh`
for site in $site_list; do
