Patch Name: PHCO_20099 Patch Description: s700_800 10.20 /sbin/init.d/savecore patch (ACE 199912) Creation Date: 99/10/11 Post Date: 99/12/07 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 10.20 s800: 10.20 Products: N/A Filesets: OS-Core.UX-CORE Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_20099 Symptoms: PHCO_20099: System reboots if there is not enough swap space to save the core dump image. Defect Description: PHCO_20099: Savecore(1M) returns an exit code of 3 indicating that there is not enough swap space to save the core image. Rc.d interpretes an exit status of 3 as requesting a system reboot, so the system is rebooted. Resolution: Savecore script remaps the savecore(1M) exit status of 3 to 1, so the system will not be rebooted.
