This section describes the 'jconsole' command and its options. The connection window of the JDK 1.6 version is also included.
"jconsole": A graphical user interface tool that enables you to monitor and manage Java applications
and virtual machines on a local or remote machine using the JMX technology.
The "jconsole" tool supports several command options, which can be obtained by the "-help" option:
C:\Progra~1\java\jdk1.6.0_02\bin\jconsole -help
Usage: jconsole [ -interval=n ] [ -notile ] [ -pluginpath <path> ]
[ -version ] [ connection ... ]
-interval Set the update interval to n seconds (default is 4 seconds)
-notile Do not tile windows initially (for two or more connections)
-pluginpath Specify the path that jconsole uses to look up the
plugins
-version Print program version
connection = pid || host:port || JMX URL
(service:jmx:<protocol>://...)
pid The process id of a target process
host A remote host name or IP address
port The port number for the remote connection
-J Specify the input arguments to the Java virtual machine
on which jconsole is running
If you run the "jconsole" command without any option in JDK 1.6,
you will get the connection window as shown below:
This connection window allows you to specify the connection information from UI instead of the command line.
