Thanks Richard. The SIGQUIT thing sounds potentially useful, but when I send a SIGQUIT to the stuck (looping) java process it has no effect. I've tried sending SIGQUIT via the Max OS X Activity Monitor and also kill -3, kill -s SIGQUIT, and kill -SIGQUIT with the process ID from a terminal window. I know that kill -9 will kill it but I get no thread info. The other signals I've tried are all either ignored or uninformative.
On Java debuggers: Is there a particular one that I ought to try? I see a big universe of these, but with most assuming a particular development environment or other setup stuff that I wouldn't know how to do from Clojure... Aside from minor dabbling I'm new to the Java universe. -Lee On Mar 17, 2010, at 1:58 PM, Richard Newman wrote: >> An alternative: Is there a way to watch my running Clojure program without >> breaking it, that is to observe the recent call history (of my own >> definitions, either all of them or specifically marked ones) from outside >> the process? > > If you send a SIGQUIT to the java process, it will print the thread info > (including call stack) for each thread to stdout. > > You can also try attaching a Java debugger.
