Thanks for the link. SystemTap looks promising. However, I think Java 6 is supposed to have some specific hooks for the dtrace, so SystemTap may not be as complete an integration as DTrace.

I believe SystemTap is supposed to fill the role of DTrace on Linux.

Thanks Ryan.

I actually do know of SendSignal and recommended it in the past for at least one of the customers.

I don’t know if it always works (and some of my customers were too big to risk it in production), but it is worth a shot and certainly worth keeping it on the list of tools.
