When starting the JMX agent via jcmd, the error messages you get are very cryptic:
$ build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/jdk/bin/jcmd Sleeper ManagementAgent.start
9979:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid option specified
$ build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/jdk/bin/jcmd Sleeper ManagementAgent.start config.file=apa
10024:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Config file not found
$ build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/jdk/bin/jcmd Sleeper ManagementAgent.start jmxremote.port=5000
9979:
sun.management.AgentConfigurationError
This is just because errors are note propagated correctly to the jcmd. With some small changes the above can look like this:
$ build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/jdk/bin/jcmd Sleeper ManagementAgent.start
89673:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid com.sun.management.jmxremote.port number: No port specified
$ build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/jdk/bin/jcmd Sleeper ManagementAgent.start config.file=apa
89673:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Config file not found: apa
$ build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/jdk/bin/jcmd Sleeper ManagementAgent.start jmxremote.port=5000
89673:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Password file not found: /Users/staffan/mercurial/jdk9-hs-rt/build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/jdk/lib/management/jmxremote.password
