Questions about ABRT, the Automatic Bug-Reporting Tool used to gather information about crashing programs.

ABRT consists of a daemon that runs silently in the background most of the time. It springs into action when an application crashes. It then collects the relevant crash data such as a core file if there is one, the crashing application's command line parameters, and other contextual puzzle pieces of forensic utility. Finally, ABRT is capable of reporting crash data to a relevant issue tracker, such as Red Hat Bugzilla. Reporting crash data to a relevant issue tracker can be configured to happen automatically at every detected crash, or crash dumps can be stored locally, reviewed, reported, and deleted manually by a user. ABRT's various plugins analyze crash data from applications written in the C, C++ and Python language, as well as report crashes to relevant issue trackers.
