Unix / Linux: was macht mein Prozess?

There are some useful tools to check the load of your box / server – even when you have just only very less permissions (ant ‚top‘ is not available):

  • ptree – all processes with pid
  • prstat – similar to top
  • kill -3 <pid> – print (java) stack strace and dump to log
  • ps -aelf – you sh’d know it. Otherwise: forget your password.
