When I run a cron, using whenever gem, the script is executed but I get
an error saying its a “[BUG] Segmentation fault” and I get a rather big
core file in my app each time. Can I ignore it? If yes I can just delete
any core files with another cron.
hm not realy, a “Segmentation fault” is a break, mostly an dereference
of a null pointer, into the program which cause it to close. you can not
catch it and you should not ignore it … when did it happen?

Can you? Yes. Should you? Probably not.
Kind of like continuing to drive a car with the “CHECK ENGINE” light
on the dashboard lit up and flashing… “Wait, what’s that smell?”

If your on BSD you can set kern.sugid_coredump to turn off core dumps.
On other platforms it might be
$ ulimit -c 0
You should investigate the problem though.
Certainly!
