How to prevent or stop generation of core file while running code on unix box.

Hi,

Please help while i am running my jar file on aix box a core file is being generated.Kindly,provide me the solution so that no core file is generated.which environment variable i need to set it?

the shell command

ulimit -c 0

might help.

Hi,
where did i execute this command?????.My code is running fine.output is same as i expected but the core file is formed .

I don't know which program produces core files. The shell? Somewhere in the OS? Consider posing your question to the java group. If java produces core files it might ignore a coresize limit. I keep the coresize limit in my shell startup file. Anyway, I proposed this:

shell_prompt$ ulimit -c 0
shell_prompt$ java worms_in_a.jar


The ulimit shell command might have a different name in another shell. I use the born again shell.
