Inspecting Java threads in Linux using top

Question

I am inspecting a Java process in Linux using

top -H

However, I cannot read the name of the thread in the "COMMAND" column (because it is too long). If I use 'c' to expand the full name of the process, then it is still to long to fit.

How can I obtain the full name of the command?

Answer 1

You can inspect java threads with the tool jstack. It will list the names, stacktraces and other useful information of all threads belonging to the specified process pid.

Edit: The parameter nid in the thread dump of jstack is the hex version of the LWP that is displayed by top in the pid column for threads.
