One-liner to trigger core dumping: $ sh -c 'kill -ABRT $$' Aborted (core dumped)

  $$ would give the pid of the inner sh command right? Because the single quote would disable interpolation in the outer shell. So why would this work?

    It works by killing the inner shell. The outer shell remains alive, so that it can print the "core dumped" message. If you don't mind losing your current shell and don't care about the message, you can use just: $ kill -ABRT $$
