jvisualvm in Unix

Question

We started to check the performance of my application as its getting slow after some time. I am using jvisualvm to observe the cause. Can anyone tell how can i use jvisualvm in Unix as in Windows we can check it through UI. Can we have the same view in Unix also.

Lets my path to jvisualvm is /Prj/tools/java/bin/jvisualvm

When i use help,

Usage: /Prj/tools/java/bin/../lib/visualvm//platform7/lib/nbexec {options} arguments  

General options:  
  --help                show this help  
  --jdkhome <path>      path to Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition  
  -J<jvm_option>        pass <jvm_option> to JVM  

  --cp:p <classpath>    prepend <classpath> to classpath  
  --cp:a <classpath>    append <classpath> to classpath  
Core options:  
  --laf <LaF classname> use given LookAndFeel class instead of the default  
  --fontsize <size>     set the base font size of the user interface, in points  
  --locale <language[:country[:variant]]> use specified locale  
  --userdir <path>      use specified directory to store user settings  

Module reload options:

Answer 1

Just type in your terminal:

/Prj/tools/java/bin/jvisualvm

And hit enter. If you want to pass some arguments or options (like JDK home) put it after "jvisualvm" in the command above using the format provided by help.

Answer 2

You can setup the remote connectivity to the unix box from the jvisualvm.

Else, you can set the DISPLAY parameter of the unix to your desktop IP [like DISPLAY=<your IP>:0.0;export DISPLAY] Note: Use the unix command according to your SHELL
