[Mr Gabriel]

You might want to jump on the nagios list, and ask about monitoring a process on a box.

Subject: [CentOS] Naming of a Java Process in Linux

Hi

Not a specific question on CentOS but in general about java processes 
running on Linux boxes.

I have a couple of java processes running on my linux boxes , They 
basically form a component of a bigger application. My point of interest 
is to monitor the resource usage of the java processes running on the 
linux box. So currently when i have these procs running on my box they 
show up as "java" in the ps -A command. I dont know for sure as to which 
java process belongs to which component of my appliacation. Hence what i 
do is add up all the resource utilization values for all java processes 
as my monitoring application relies on process names. So what i thought 
was , Is there a solution in linux or the way the JVM is initiated can 
we have process names different for different java processes. To be more 
specific if i have two java processes running in my system , in order to 
identify them properly can i have it running as java_1 or java_2 or 
something in those lines.

Please let me know if its possible.

Thanks
Jatin
