jps -l -J-Djava.io.tmpdir=/the-tmp-dir

where /the-tmp-dir is the same as your process. 2. Since its long running maybe the files were cleaned up form the tmp folder. Make a file called /etc/tmpfiles.d/jps.conf that contains:

x /tmp/hsperfdata_*

This will exclude the tracking files from cleanup. You can restart you long running process to recreate these files.
