Download packages using yum without Installation

How to download packages using yum without applying them?

We can download packages or updates using yum downloadonly plugin without actually installing them to the system. Below steps can be followed for that.
Install yum-downloadonly package.
# yum install yum-downloadonly
Create a directory to download packages to.
# mkdir /tmp/downloadonly
# Run yum in the downloadonly mode.
# yum --downloadonly --downloaddir=/tmp/downloadonly packagename
The above command wouldn't install package, but would just download the it to /tmp/downloadonly directory. This is the best method to download packages using yum. Command "yumdownloader" provided through "yum-utils" can also be used to download specific single packages.

Thanks,
Kuldeep Sharma

How to take JVM Heap Dump using jmap

By -
We have different options for taking a heap dump of running JAVA process and then analyze those dump for any kind for memory leak. Today, We are going to do the same using " jmap " in-built utility provided with JDK. Using this you will get an advantage that you don't need to wait untill our JVM got crashed by using passing " -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError " parameter to JVM process. We can capture current status using jmap as below: 1.) Find out the jmap location(only if your JAVA_HOME variable not defined)       #locate jmap 2.) After finding jmap location, move to that directory and run jmap to get live thread dump.       #./jmap -dump:live,format=b,file=[file location] [pid] For more details and options run the command with help option as below : # ./jmap -help Usage:     jmap [option] <pid>         (to connect to running process)     jmap [option] ...
