5.4. Creating Software Failures for Testing
You can force a software failure in order to verify that your reporting configuration is working properly. The following example demonstrates using the
kill command to send a signal 11 argument (segmentation fault) to an example process:
# abrt-cli list # sleep 600 & [1] 17564 # kill -11 17564 # [1]+ Segmentation fault (core dumped) sleep 600 # # abrt-cli list @0 Directory: /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2013-05-14-04:56:17-17564 count: 1 executable: /bin/sleep package: coreutils-8.4-19.el6 time: Tue 14 May 2013 04:56:17 EDT uid: 0 #
