I need to take the thread dump while Jboss is starting up. I have consulted the https://community.jboss.org/wiki/ThreadDump (https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-12395) And following the Signal the JVM to print out a https://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-12300 StackTrace approach. Modified the run.sh to put the thread dump on $JBOSS_HOME/server/bin/jboss.trace file. while server is being started I am doing *ps -ef | grep jboss* to find jboss pid. And then I am doing *kill -3 pid* to print stack trace. But the stack trace is not coming into jboss.trace file. It only having content same like server.log. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. run.sh and jboss.trace is attached here. JBoss AS version is 5.1. Java version is 1.6.0_26. OS version is SunOS 5.1 -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/714249#714249] Start a new discussion in Performance Tuning at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
