jhsdb: Start a remote debug server.
$ jhsdb debugd --pid ${pid} --serverid ${optional_unique_id}
try on your machine

The command jhsdb debugd is used to start the Java Debug Server (jhsdb) in debug mode.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • jhsdb: Refers to the Java HotSpot Debugger Tool, a debugging utility included with the Java Development Kit (JDK).

  • debugd: This is the subcommand of the jhsdb tool that starts the debug server.

  • --pid ${pid}: This option specifies the process ID (PID) of the Java application that you want to debug. ${pid} should be replaced with the actual process ID.

  • --serverid ${optional_unique_id}: This option allows you to provide an optional unique ID for the debug server. ${optional_unique_id} should be replaced with a value of your choice. If not provided, a default server ID will be assigned.

By running this command with the appropriate process ID and optional unique ID, the Java Debug Server will be started in debug mode, enabling you to attach a debugger and analyze the specified Java application.
