Hi, what is the equivalent of coreadm solaris command in linux

+2  A: 

coreadm allows you to configure various aspects of core file generation (naming patterns, logging, ...) on Solaris systems. Linux isn't as feature rich here and only allows you to customize the name of the core files. This can be done by writing a format string into /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern.

See man 5 core for the details.

In more recent kernels (> 2.6.23) you can also change which types of mappings are included in core dumps (`/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter`).
