Adding an /etc/sysctl.d/foobar.conf file with the bellow content allowed<br>
me to at last produce core dump files (in /var/tmp directory), even if<br>
asterisk is run by asterisk user (and by root).<br>
I choosed this /var/tmp directory to make sure core dumps are not erased<br>
after a reboot and because this directory is "world-writable".<br>
To trigger core dumping, previously recommended "pkill -SEGV asterisk"<br>
was used.<br>
<br>
/etc/sysctl.d/foobar.conf content is simply:<br>
kernel.core_pattern=/var/tmp/c<wbr>ore.%e.%t<br>
<br>
Maybe taming systemd to consider /var/lib/asterisk as a current<br>
directory when running asterisk daemon would be a better solution ?<br>
<br>
Maybe Asterisk or more generally long running daemons, should warn when<br>
they are run with "-g option" and from a current directory where it<br>
can't write any file (or any file matching core pattern) ?<br>
Maybe this is already done but I overlooked it or looked in the wrong<br>
place ?<br>

Why not just use the systemd journal and coredumpctl for core files management? systemd solves that quite well.<span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Do you have any pointer showing how systemd journal or coredumpctl can help ?<br></div><div>How can any of those help to specify the where core files are dumped ?<br><br></div><div> </div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex" class="gmail_quote"><span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">
