I am having issues on production server, It is groovy/grails application and I am using quartz to run many crons.
There is one cron which is when enabled crashes the JVM. I have no idea why. I can't find any crash dumps or any logs.
I found that the JVM is calling apport for crash report but apport is ignoring it. I read that apport also creates something.crash file inside /var/crash directory but I don't know it is not creating for Java crashes.
Here's the log from apport.log file.
ERROR: apport (pid 2150) Fri Sep 5 05:29:31 2014: called for pid 2100, signal 11

Please suggest me how to enable crash dump for apport or any other way to find out why java failed.
Let me know if you require any more information. Thanks in advance.
javaoutside of the package management system? – wxl Sep 05 '14 at 14:15apportonly works against packages. – wxl Sep 05 '14 at 14:17javainto a .deb and install it that way. See more here. Have you turned on logging for Quartz & Groovy/Grails? That might be a better approach. Assumedly it's a Java program causing the problem. – wxl Sep 05 '14 at 15:13
