EAP6 and twiddle

[ramxp]

Hello All,

We have an EAP6 JBOSS and I need to look at thread dumps without altering the way the server is started up using scripts. I could not find the file twiddle.sh under the bin folder. I am surprised this is missing - is it something that comes with the build or can be just downloaded and used to perform command line tasks. Any other alternative suggestions are also highly appreciated.

You don't need twiddle to perform thread dumps.

Use the "jstack" command that comes with the JDK:
