How to get more debugging info on zmc crash?
Posted: Mon Dec 28, 2009 5:23 pm
I have an 8-camera setup and one camera is not coming up. More
precisely, the zmc process for that camera, /dev/video3, isn't
running. (See this other thread for more details than you might
possibly want: http://www.zoneminder.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14982 )
In /var/log/syslog I find entries like
INF ['zmc -d /dev/video3' crashed, signal 6]
The question here is simply: where/how can I get more debugging output
about why zmc crashed? I understand that signal 6 is SIGABRT, which
should mean that zmc itself decided to abort (instead of being killed by the
kernel later) because it didn't like something---not enough resources,
whatever.
How can I get more details about the reason for the failure?
