coredumpctl: command not found

by Deepika

The coredumpctl command is a utility in Linux that is used to manage core dumps, which are snapshots of a process’s memory at the time of a crash. Core dumps can be useful for debugging purposes, as they provide information about the state of the process at the time of the crash.

To list all available core dumps, use the following command:

# coredumpctl list

This will display a list of all available core dumps, including the PID of the process, the name of the executable, and the time of the crash.

If you encounter the below error while running the command coredumpctl:

coredumpctl: command not found

you may try installing the below package as per your choice of distribution:

Distribution Command
Debian apt-get install systemd-coredump
Ubuntu apt-get install systemd-coredump
Arch Linux pacman -S systemd
Kali Linux apt-get install systemd-coredump
CentOS yum install systemd
Fedora dnf install systemd
Raspbian apt-get install systemd-coredump
