Repo Description

[root@node1 ~]# ./jstack.pl

@ssingla - Taking jstack with the user who is running a daemon would be more effective. Just a suggestion! :)

"Make sure to run jstack as the same user that's running Jenkins itself instead of using the root user" - https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Obtaining+a+thread+dump
