I do not have access to the shell that the program
is running out of. But I DO have access to the
script that the program runs from. Any way to add
something to the script? (Script exists after
the program starts [systemctl].)
Well, if the program exits with the exit code that indicates that it dumped
core, you can have your script automatically run coredumpctl to extract the
core out.
