Hi,
when I issue a kill -3 command to my java program, its generates the thread dump on the console. How do I redirect this to a file?
Tks!
no. this is not right imo. you're redirecting the output of the kill command here. we should be redirecting the output of the jvm.

I'm not sure about other platforms, but on Linux at least this doesn't work since the thread dump is written to the standard out of the *Java* process, not the current console, so `dump.txt` will be empty.

That answer was unconfirmed as I was at work on Windows machine. Sorry for the bad information.

A:
Two options:
Run your Java application with stdout redirected
java com.example.MyApp > out.txt
Use jstack instead.
The jstack utility allows you to get a thread dump and send the output to the current console instead of the stdout of the Java application, allowing you to redirect it.
For example, if the PID of your Java application is 12345 (use the jps utility to find it quickly):
jstack 12345 > threads.txt

If you want details of all threads and other JVM details, try jconsole.
