<div><strong>Attention</strong>: commands here are taking advantage of byte-code-injection, which means we are injecting some <aclass="reference external"href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect-oriented_programming">aspects</a> into the current classes for monitoring and statistics purpose. Therefore when use it for online troubleshooting in your production environment, you’d better <strong>explicitly specify</strong> classes/methods/criteria, and remember to remove the injected code by <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">shutdown</span></code> or <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">reset</span></code>.</div></blockquote>

<p>Arthas provides <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">pipe</span></code> to process the result returned from commands further, e.g. <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">sm</span><spanclass="pre">org.apache.log4j.Logger</span><spanclass="pre">|</span><spanclass="pre">grep</span><spanclass="pre"><init></span></code>.

<p><aclass="reference internal"href="async.html"><spanclass="doc">async</span></a> can be handy when a problem is hardly to reproduce in the production enviornment, e.g. one <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">watch</span></code> condition may happen only once in one single day.</p>
<li>job control - use <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">></span></code> to redirect result into the log file, use <codeclass="docutils literal notranslate"><spanclass="pre">&</span></code> to put the job to the background. Job keeps running even if the session is disconnected (the session lifecycle is 1 day by default)</li>
