Hi Not a specific question on CentOS but in general about java processes running on Linux boxes. I have a couple of java processes running on my linux boxes , They basically form a component of a bigger application. My point of interest is to monitor the resource usage of the java processes running on the linux box. So currently when i have these procs running on my box they show up as "java" in the ps -A command. I dont know for sure as to which java process belongs to which component of my appliacation. Hence what i do is add up all the resource utilization values for all java processes as my monitoring application relies on process names. So what i thought was , Is there a solution in linux or the way the JVM is initiated can we have process names different for different java processes. To be more specific if i have two java processes running in my system , in order to identify them properly can i have it running as java_1 or java_2 or something in those lines. Please let me know if its possible. Thanks Jatin _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
