Q.  I have a core files, now how can I get a stack trace from it?

A.  Save this script as /usr/local/bin/stack_trace and use it:

	#!/bin/sh

	Usage()
	{
		echo "Usage: stack_trace <pgm> <core>"
		exit 1
	}

	if [ $# -ne 2 ]; then
		Usage
	fi

	PGM=$1
	CORE=$2

	(
	echo bt
	echo quit
	sleep 10
	) | gdb $PGM $CORE
