NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       crashdc  -  Diagnostic  data  collection  for a running or
       crashed system

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       /usr/bin/crashdc [system-kernel] [core-image]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The crashdc utility examines the core image of the operating
 system to extract critical diagnostic data. This utility
 is a shell script that invokes several tools and  commands
  that  extract selected parameters of a running or a
       crashed system (for example, system configuration, running
       processes, and panic messages).

       The arguments to the crashdc utility are the system kernel
       and the core image. The default  values  are  /vmunix  and
       /dev/mem,  respectively.  If you specify no arguments, the
       crashdc utility examines the running system.

       The system usually invokes the crashdc utility during system
  startup.  If the most recent core dump has been saved
       by the savecore command, both the core image and the  system
  kernel (respectively vmcore.n and vmunix.n, where the
       variable n is the crash number) are  saved  in  the  crash
       directory  (by default, /var/adm/crash). Also, the crashdc
       utility saves the output as the file  crash-data.n  (where
       the  variable  n  is the crash number) in the crash directory.
 The crashdc utility is invoked only if  crash-data.n
       output  in  the  crash  directory does not exist or is not
       from the most recent crash.
