Hi all,

I want to know the exact path of the core files generated by Postgres server during crash?

Can I configure it or generate it?

I don't recall for ubuntu, but on Linux for sure you can see how a
core file is shaped by looking at /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern. Just
noticing something... You should consider an upgrade to a newer
version. 8.4 has just become EOL.
