Hi ,

I am using the following command

kill -3 pid ----which will return the thread dump.

I want redirect this to file.

I tried like the following two ways.

kill -3 9843 >> srini.log
kill -3 9852 >> srini 2>&1

But those two cases are failed

pls let me knwo is there any other way that i can do that...

Thanks in Advance,

srini.

kill is just a command to send a signal to a process. You are redirecting the output of the kill command itself. What the process does upon reciept of a signal is another matter. So

kill -3 9843 > some.file 2>&1

has no effect on what files process 9843 will write to. If process 9843 is not writing to the files you want, you need to add redirects to that process when it is run.

Hi Perderabo,
I too have the same problem as srinivsa has.
Isn't there any way to redirect the output of thread dump to some file rather than stdout.
Actually i have a script where according to some conditions some pid's are generated and then i have to take thread dump in some file which will be used by other program for further analysis,and all this is done inside a for loop.So i want the thread dump to be placed in some output file under /tmp or something.
Could you please help.
Thanks
