System Panics
If a process causes a system panic, dump information to the
core (memory) file. Save this file because it contains clues

Step 3. The /rc directory should contain entries similar to
those shown in the following example. If more than

extensions greater than zero. The file with the
highest number represents the latest core dump.

core files with the UNIX rm command.
