Ok, "unix-derivative" if you prefer. FWIW, it actually happened on SunOS or maybe HP-UX, and it was before Linux existed.

- flukus 9y agoBut it could have just as easily been a windows batch file, it's not related to the OS at all.
- kieranelby 9y agoWell, apart from the fact that UNIX-like systems have traditionally dumped core files in programs' working directories if they crash, so needing a script to clean them up. Linux still does, though many distros set ulimit or /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern to disable it.
- SolarNet 9y agoWindows does this too, except it hides them in it's system folders, it even comes with a built in clean-up script you can run. Not a problem that is worse on *nix.
- pjc50 9y agoI'm reminded of when I discovered on a production system that "killall" is very different on Solaris to Linux.
