The stinking script exits after starting the program.
Rats!
Well, then change the script so that it doesn't.
But, if you're saying that the program forks, and the original process
exits, then that's going to be a little bit of a pickle.
First of all, it is not necessary to grab the core file immediately after
the program dumps core. The command I mentioned before can be run any time
thereafter, all it effectively does is pull the most recent core dump.
Otherwise, your only realistic option is your original plan: modify
core_pattern.
