No, java processes only. And tomcat is the only java-using application running on these servers.

Or any other way of identifying what thread is the culprit? I have played with the kill -3 feature, but didn't get very far investigating the output. =( Thanks! -- Gustavo Noronha Silva Coordenação de Segurança e Sustentação Ministério do Desenvolvimento Social - Brasil
