Answer 1

In bash, you can use the ulimit command which controls settings relating to program execution like dump core. See the code below: 

ulimit -c unlimited

If you want to specify the size of programs that dump cores, let’s say 52M you can implement with it the below command: 

limit coredumpsize unlimited
