[squid-users] Antwort: Re: [squid-users] automatic removing core files

Hello,

core files are created when squid crashes.
It would make sense to find out why squid writes core dumps.

Some documentation:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BugReporting

To prevent writing of core files set the core file limit to 0.
It could be "ulimit -c 0" or something similar.

Also see the coredump config of squid.conf

Our squid works without significant errors, only some kind of errors are
periodically writing in cache.log, see below:

parseHttpRequest: Requestheader contains NULL characters.

Is this may be a cause of coredumps ?

Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE21 - works fine for us.

WBR.
