Hi Mtk,

BTW, if I add "%P-%e-%s.core" every core starts with the same
"P1000-"

The man page shows:
  %P  PID of dumped process, as seen in the initial PID namespace
                (since Linux 3.12)

Do you see similar? I was only needing something to make the filename unique, so %t is enough.

Cheers, Jonny
