Hello,

I need to be able to either disable the cores or point my CoreDumpDirectory to /dev/null. We are using AIX 5.3

Thanks

Consult AIX documentation to disable coredumps, or point to
CoredumpDirectory to any _directory_ that the IHS child process can't
write to.

99% of crashes are child process crashes, which run as an unpriveleged user. If you remove CoreDumpDirectory, it will default to the server root which should not be writable by this unpriveleged user. Otherwise you'd have to look into doing this at the AIX level, such that the IHS CoreDumpDirectory is short-circuited by asking AIX not to drop core at all.
