jvisualvm in Unix

Question

We started to check the performance of my application as its getting slow after some time. I am using jvisualvm to observe the cause. Can anyone tell how can i use jvisualvm in Unix as in Windows we can check it through UI. Can we have the same view in Unix also.

Lets my path to jvisualvm is /Prj/tools/java/bin/jvisualvm

When i use help,

Usage: /Prj/tools/java/bin/../lib/visualvm//platform7/lib/nbexec {options} arguments

Just type in your terminal:

/Prj/tools/java/bin/jvisualvm

And hit enter. If you want to pass some arguments or options (like JDK home) put it after "jvisualvm" in the command above using the format provided by help.
