Hi,

in which OS are you seeing this problem?
Does it print the exception only once after starting jvmtop?
If so does jvmtop crash after throwing this exception or does it run normally 
afterwards?

Hi,
1. I am using Fedora release 13 (Goddard) OS.
2. Yes. It is printing only once. And exiting jvmtop.
below exception is thrown.

 JvmTop 0.6.0 alpha          amd64,  4 cpus, Linux 2.6.34.8-
 http://code.google.com/p/jvmtop

ERROR: Could not attach to process.]

3. jvmtop is not running after above exception.
After above exception, If I execute jvmtop.sh <pid> where pid = process running 
under user. Its running normal.

I am running small java program under root. jvmtop.sh <pid> works fine. But on 
web application's pid its not. 
I am using jboss-5.1.0.GA server. My server is up and running.

Hi,

thanks for the update.
I was able to reproduce this issue.

The root cause of this is that the jvm is most probably not responding or 
restricted its management attach mechanism.
You can try executing jstack 9092 - it will most probably also stop with an 
error message - so unfortunately there's nothing jvmtop can do for this jvm.

However, an exception should not be displayed here as this a regular use case.
I will change jvmtop to catch this exception and display a meaningful status in 
the overview view.

Hi,

Apologies for late reply. jstack works fine on this pid.

Here is the command output.

@all : Please retest if jvmtop 0.8.0 is fixing the attaching issues.

Please let us know if the issues are fixed - or post what is not yet working.
