You can have a look at it here : http://crashdc.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/crashdc/trunk/and Most of the work happens in /usr/bin/crashdc and the run-crashdc-{distro}.sh scripts. It does indeed means crash data collector. It basically is a set of shell script that send a set of predefined commands to the crash utility and gather the result in a text file that can be easily sent over email. In one implementation, it makes use of the KDUMP_POST mechanism to run. Another way to use it is through an init script upon reboot. As for merging it with makedumpfile, it could be an interesting choice. = But that might add requirements to makedumpfile that you might not want to have (dependencies on crash & the kernel-debuginfo packages which are needed). I have recently changed jobs, so I had to suspend my work on crashdc a bit. I'm hoping to find time to work on it and adapt it to debian based distro in the near future.
