执行btrace命令报错：Unable to open socket file: target process not responding or HotSpot VM not loaded

jstack报错：Unable to open socket file。是因为这个java进程的pid文件删除了

-bash-4.1# sudo -u root /apps/svr/jdk7/bin/jstack 284

284: Unable to open socket file: target process not responding or HotSpot VM not loaded
The -F option can be used when the target process is not responding

linux操作系统为了防止/tmp目录文件过多，有个删除管理机制：tmpwatch

-bash-4.1# cat /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch
#! /bin/sh
flags=-umc
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" -x /tmp/.X11-unix -x /tmp/.XIM-unix \
-x /tmp/.font-unix -x /tmp/.ICE-unix -x /tmp/.Test-unix \
-X ‘/tmp/hsperfdata_*‘ 10d /tmp
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" 30d /var/tmp
for d in /var/{cache/man,catman}/{cat?,X11R6/cat?,local/cat?}; do
if [ -d "$d" ]; then
/usr/sbin/tmpwatch "$flags" -f 30d "$d"
fi
done

高版本jps、jstack不能工作原因：

这是一个从Java 6 update 21 引入的bug sunbug 7009828，在Java 6 update 25修复。

具体原因是： jdk16_21/24开始，jvm启动时产生进程号的临时文件目录优先使用-Djava.io.tmpdir指定的目录，没有指定-Djava.io.tmpdir参数才使用/tmp/hsperfdata_$USER。

正好tomcat指定了-Djava.io.tmpdir=${tomcat_home}/tmp/。而jps、jstack从/tmp/hsperfdata_$USER目录读取不到pid信息，所以才报错。
