Synopsis

new packages: crash-gcore-command

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory (none)

Topic

New crash-gcore-command packages are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The crash-gcore-command extension module is used to dynamically add a gcore command to a running crash utility session on a kernel dumpfile. The command will create a core dump file for a specified user task program that was running when a kernel crashed. The resultant core dump file may then be used with gdb.

This enhancement update adds the crash-gcore-command packages to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. (BZ#692799)

All users who require the crash-gcore-command should install these new packages.
