Is it possible to get gdb or use some other tools to create a core dump of a running process and it's symbol table? It would be great if there's a way to do this without terminating the process.
If this is possible, what commands would you use? (I'm trying to do this on a Linux box)
$ gdb --pid=26426 (gdb) gcore Saved corefile core.26426 (gdb) detach
