core file generation

Got to know this interesting bit today

By default in solaris core dump occurs when an application misbehaves(say segmentation fault).
But in linux the default core dumping is disabled.

Using ulimit command one can turn on this feature.

Just enable the application to core dump by
$>ulimit -c unlimited
