Is it possible to peridocally save state of the program through a core dump?
coredump, debugging, linux
Solution
I found simple solution:
$gcore
usage: gcore [-o filename] pid
It is distributed with gdb.
Problem
I just want to dump core without stopping the program. This would be essentialy serializing a whole state of the program. A very convenient thing for debugging later. Is it possible under linux?
