FINDING CORE FILES 
To find and remove core files
 conditionally:
 
 # find ~ -name core -exec file {} \; -exec rm -i {} \;
 
 "file" will show which executable
 the core file is for and the -i
 option to rm will allow you to
 choose weather to delete it or not.
 
 #### EXAMPLE ##############
 
 # find ~ -name core -exec file {} \; -exec rm -i {} \;
 
 /my/home/core: ELF 32-bit LSB core file of 'netscape-commun'
 (signal 3), Intel 8
 rm: remove `/my/home/core'? y
