That's all well and good (and fun to play with) but I'm hoping to get
the same info that the console gives you pictorially.

I'm going to this effort because one of the web applications I'm running
under Geronimo/Tomcat has a habit running out of memory (memory leak?)
and Geronimo will exit without any error codes, log messages or anything
else that would let me know why...

Besides, I like being proactive.

If you're running out of memory, then recommend you use

export JAVA_OPTS="-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError"

The JVM will automatically generate a heapdump on out of memory conditions. These can then be analyzed by a number of tools to determine the source of your problem. I can help you with this, if you need...

I assume you're seeing infinitely increasing memory usage and this is not simply a matter of bumping up your max heap or permgen memory.
