Anyone else able to reproduce this?
For some reason I had this service enabled on u4

Upgrade to u5, Apply the latest patches including a monster java patch
(yet again)

svcadm -v enable -r svc:/system/webconsole:console
Result:
/export/home/gerryt $ Apr 21 10:44:46 gcs genunix: NOTICE: core_log:
java[2064] core dumped: /var/cores/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.5.0/bin/java.
2064.gcs
every 30 seconds or so.

Im using a SPARC box if that matters

Have fun disabling this BTW - Try disabling just after the core dump
message appears
on console works for me

Nothing a good reboot wouldn't cure...

Are you telling me to do something? Or are you trying something?

Seeing as how you wont try it Ill tell you. The box will never reboot
and core dump every 30 seconds depending on your hardware unless you
power off.
If the service is truly disabled then you be OK but if that service
ISNT disabled then
naturlich: upon reboot the same thing will start happening again.
You still get to run level 3 though.

For me the process had to be killed at "just the right time" or I was
in reboot in limbo.
I found this out how?
a) I was not aware that "webconsole" was running - normally
I dont enable it. I applied a stack of newly released patches with pca
b) I didnt notice there was a problem (with webconsole) until after
I rebooted the next morning as I still didnt recall I enabled it at
some some point for reason.
And then forgot to disable it.
I DID notice a machine slowdown but its wasnt enough to go into
'diagnostics mode'.
I figured it was my Internet connection being a bit slow that day.
c) I shutdown for the day and the non GUI console screen informs
me that it couldnt write the core dump anywhere. And is hung there.
Say who? Whats all this then?
d) I Stop A reboot/enabled coreadm with -g and mkdir -p'd as the
man page suggested and I see core after core generated by Java not
webconsole
but eventually I track it down TO webconsole trying to start, fails,
segfaults, and then starts again.
Over and over. . hmm kill this webconsole thing.
e) It would NOT die unless I ran ps after the next console message to
get the
pid to to kill. init 5 shutdown wont run to completion.
webconsole service goes into a restart loop even though its disabled
with svcadm disable.

Now you may not see this -Im pretty sure you WOULD- so I suggest that
a simple reboot wont
do the trick (unless of course you back out of the webconsole patch).
I chose not to
for a variety of reasons I wont go into cuz this post is long enough
already! : >
