How do I generate a Java thread dump?

[rickkw]

I am trying to get a thread dump of the JBoss VM on Linux. I tried

kill -QUIT {jboss_pid}

but nothing happens. This trick works for other JVM instances (WebLogic) but not my JBoss instance. Is there a configuration I am missing?

Thanks,

I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm running JBoss 3.2.7 on a Fedora Core 3 Linux box. I also have JBoss started up as a service. I send both kill -3 or kill -QUIT to the JBoss process id and nothing happens.

Anybody have any idea what's up with that?
