4. Is there any way that you know of to get JBoss to convince the JVM that it
needs to do a system-wide gc? Is it as simple as calling System.gc()?
Nearly that simple. System.gc() is just a hint, the VM can ignore it.

Adrian,
Thanks for the reply. Couple of comments to your response.
1. Unfortunately, when the instance of Linux crashes, it crashes hard. No
response to any terminal
Adrian,
Again, thanks for your help. I've tried the runGarbageCollection invokation from
the MBean inspector. It did reduce the current memory consumption, but didn't
cause the 'desired' crash.
I guess I should clarify what I mean by 'crash' because that is a rather
overloaded and abused
So can you ping or telnet into the linux image? That will tell you
whether linux is really dead.
In principle a jvm should never crash, if it does it is a bug in the
jvm.
Of course the OS may decide to kill the process by sending it a signal
(e.g. exceeded the cpu limit of ulimit or a segfault)
.
Again, Adrian, thanks for your continued help. Do you know of any one who is
running JBoss on Linux for z/Series that might be able to shed some light on
this?
Thanks.
