NAME

       minicoredumper - create a customized minimal core(5) dump

SYNOPSIS

       minicoredumper pid uid gid signal timestamp hostname executable [configuration-file]

DESCRIPTION

       minicoredumper  provides  a  highly  configurable  core  dump  mechanism.  This program is
       intended to be  executed  by  the  Linux  core(5)  dump  facility.  By  default  the  main
       configuration file is:

              /etc/minicoredumper/minicoredumper.cfg.json

       but can be overridden if the optional 8th argument is specified.

       minicoredumper  uses  syslog(3)  to log its activity. The syslog ident is "minicoredumper"
       and the syslog facility is LOG_SYSLOG.

EXAMPLE

       Setup minicoredumper to be used for core(5) dumps.

              echo '|/usr/sbin/minicoredumper %P %u %g %s %t %h %e' > \
                   /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
