title: Get Unix Thread Dump
body: <p>I am trying to get a unix (solaris and linux) thread dump on a java application.</p>
  
  <p>1) When the java application is a tomcat web application,
  using kill -3 , the dump goes to the catalina.out file, as this is standard output.
  kill -3 pid > td.out does not work.</p>
  
  <p>2) For another spring standalone java application, how do I find the standard output for it.
  I have used:
  kill -3 pid, and I have checked in my application logs, and I cannot find anything.</p>
  
  <p>Please advise how I can determine standard output for the java application  and see the thread dump.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  B.</p>
