> As for the status code, it looks like a bash bug:
Your script gives different results here (on Ubuntu):
$ ulimit -c
0
$ ./python dumpcore.py
6: False
$ ulimit -c unlimited
$ ./python dumpcore.py
6: False
That's because Ubuntu overrides the core file pattern:
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
|/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c
If I ask for a regular core file, the script works:
$ sudo sh -c "echo core.%p > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern"
$ ./python dumpcore.py
134: True
Which means the test really threatens to be unreliable (other systems may install similar mechanisms by default). |
