Java -Dupdateagent -- what is this?

Applications Programming

I noticed this process running on one of our servers, any ideas what it's doing? It's obviously an update agent, but its running on some of our servers and not others (all standard build)

root      6594     1  0 May28 ?        00:00:03 java -Dupdateagent -Djava.endorsed.dirs=. -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=60 -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ne

I've googled for "Dupdateagent" but it hardly comes back with anything. Any suggestions most welcome.

Can you run below command and post the output:

$JAVA_HOME/bin/jps | grep 6594

OR

jps | grep 6594

Hi, thanks for your reply. The PID has changed, but i've re-run it as follows:

# ps -ef | grep -i update
root      6502     1  0 May28 ?        00:00:08 java -Dupdateagent -Djava.endorsed.dirs=. -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ttl=60 -Dsun.net.inetaddr.ne

# /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/jps | grep 6502
6502 gravitixagent

So I guess that answers your question.
