I have Solaris-10 machine. Yesterday I patched it with Solaris-10 patch Cluster. Since then glance software is filling up /var/core continuously. In every few minutes, it will fill /var to 100%.
Glance runs through /etc/init.d/mwa and I already stopped it, still core files are generating, I don't know, from where. How will I know and can stop it. Please help.
Can you try following below steps and see if you are still getting the core files.
/opt/perf/bin/mwa stop
/opt/perf/bin/midaemon -T [If the midaemon is still active]
/opt/perf/bin/ttd -k [If the ttd is still active]
/opt/perf/bin/perfstat
This will stop all the performance tools and you can see the same in the output of the last command.
After this the core files due to glance should not be there since we haven't started anything.
If still you are getting the core files, then please collect the below command output for every minute.
ps -ef
Once a core file is generated you can get the process number from its name and check which process is making it to crash and can daignose it better.
I ran all mentioned commands. /opt/perf/bin/perfstat also shows as below
