How can i add additional files (like logs) to the core dump archive? Is there a way to trigger a shell script?

The minicoredumper does not have any direct support for this. The archive exists primarily to create a compressed sparse core file. Even the minicoredumper does not put its other created files in the archive. That is really what the dedicated directory is for.

Is there a way to trigger a shell script?

Using the core dump facility of Linux, yes. I posted one possible implementation here:

It would be nice if a script could know the path of the dedicated core dumping directory created by the minicoredumper. Perhaps the minicoredumper could output this via stdout. Then a wrapping script could capture the path and add its own files or perform post-processing etc.
