How can I suppress the creation of the hs_err_pid file?

Question

We are running a java application under java 1.6.0_13. When it crashes it creates the normal hs_err_pid file. I don\'t want this file created even if the application crashes

If you are using a Unix/Linux system, try setting -XX:ErrorFile to /dev/null (or, if you are using Windows, try NUL).
