    + * '''jmap''' - This command will then dump a summary of the current memory map to the console. While not as sophisticated as the later versions of java, it still provides some rudimentary functionality.  
       
    + * '''jstack''' - This command will then take a thread dump of the java process specified and dump it to the console. It will only provide both Java & C/C++ threads during the trace. You may want to consider redirecting this output to a file with the ''>'' modifier.
