Speaking as someone who has a command in his .bash_profile
to turn corefiles back ON I have to say Halleluyah Brother! :)
You should not be going around deciding what a user calls their
files and what files in their $HOME the user finds useful. YOU
may not think it's useful to the user but your opinion matters
nil in this respect.
Also, I don't know if other shells have this but as a bash user
I have access to a command called ulimit. Why not set that globally
in /etc/profile but before it's set it should check for the existance
of some file in the users directory (say... .wantcore) and if it
exists to not set the limit of corefile size to 0.
Anyhow, this thread, at best, belongs in linux-admin or linux-newbie
and not linux-kernel. Can we like... move it there from now on?
Please?
And that's my 2 furballs worth.
