Hi all, as the subject says, I have a defunct, unkillable java process on my machine. Why it is there I have no idea and no great motivation to analyze, it is a remnant from an earlier debug session and quite unkillable.
However, it seems jps, jcmd and probably other tools too stumble over it. An invocation of jcmd to list current java processes, normally instantaneous, takes long. I assume the tool sees the still existing /tmp/hsperfdata_thomas/<pid>, attempts to connect, and times out? Would there be a way to avoid attempting to connect to a defunct process? Thanks, Thomas
