DESCRIPTION

j4psh is a frontend to JMX::Jmx4Perl providing an interactive shell for accessing JMX MBeans on a remote Java server.

  • Readline and history support based on GNU Readline/History as known from other shells like 'bash'. When GNU Readline is not available, a pure Perl Module is used instead.

  • Context sensitive argument completion, e.g. on MBean names and attributes.

  • Colored output (can be switched off)

  • Multi-Server support

  • Remote operation via HTTP(S)
