Thank you Joseph. I will be attempting that very soon.
I'd like to get jmap and jhat working also. I seem to be close to getting
jmap working but get a VMVersionMismatchException:
$ sudo ./jmap 19326
Attaching to process ID 19326, please wait...
Warning: the type "const char*" (declared in the remote VM in
VMStructs::localHotSpotVMTypes) had its size declared as 8 twice.

I've also tried:
$ sudo jmap -J-d64 -heap 19326
Same error.
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)
Seems that the hot-spot is the right build for the supported version. Am I
not executing it from the correct location? jmap is being executed from:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/bin
