Microsoft has begun to develop a version of Sysinternals for Linux, with an integrated application already available for developers at GitHub.
Microsoft's turn to the Linux world has grown significantly over the past two years, something that was unimaginable in Steve's time Ballmer who considered open software a cancer.
The Windows Subsystem for Linux, which allows developers to run Linux distributions inside Windows 10, is living proof that the company wants to bring two different ecosystems together.
The next step for this purpose seems to be a version of Sysinternals for Linux.
So the company's developers have already started working on adding ProcDump to Linux. Those of the developers who wish to try out the new venture can download it packet directly from GitHub.
ProcDump for Linux redefines the classic tool ProcDump from the Windows Sysinternals suite of tools. ProcDump provides a convenient way for developers to create core dumps applications for Linux.
To run ProcDump on Linux, devs should have the distributions: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Mageia 6, Fedora 26, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS 7 and the gdb 7.6.1 and zlib packages.
Microsoft reports that it is already testing the porting of the tool on other Linux distributions.
