I wouldn't try to do this inside Tomcat. With the tools provided by the JVM (jmap or JMX), you can monitor just as easily from outside Tomcat. Instead, create a monitoring script to watch the Tomcat process. When memory usage hits a certain level, dump the heap (so you can analyze your memory problem later) and restart Tomcat. Alternatively, you could use a preexisting tool to monitor your Tomcat instance like Nagios or Hyperic. > > I am using tomcat 6.0.14 on unix. This is really old, upgrade.
