List of running JVMs on the localhost

Question

How to get in Java 6+ the list of running JVMs on the localhost and their specs (i.e. Java version, running threads, etc.)?

Does the Java API provide such features?

Answer 1

I don't know about Java 6, but I think you can do by running jconsole from the command line.

Also, if you are on a *nix platform you can issue a command like this this:

ps aux | grep java

Good luck!
