title: Kill a java thread from OS
body: <p>We run application built by SAP which runs on IBM JRE.
  I can get the thread level CPU usage using <code>ps -mp &lt;PID&gt; -o THREAD</code>. Is there any similar way to kill a particular thread from OS (AIX 5.3)? May be some signal in <code>kill</code> command?</p>
  
  <p>I have heard that java debugger can may be used to kill threads randomly. Can someone guide me where I can learn its usage best?</p>
