Is there a way to expose what threads are in play during in a Linux/Thin Client/XP Workstation production environment? For example a ps -ef | grep user-id will show the runcbl process. But if a main menu program is calling menu selections in threads which in turn may call sub programs in threads can those threads be identified with some utility?

The only utility that I know of to monitor threads is the ACUCOBOL-GT debugger. The threading is inside the runtime so it will not show up to a system utility.

Don't know if this would help you or not, but on AIX we have a 'pstree' command. Given the process ID of the parent or a child it prints all of the parent/child processes. I've never done thread programming though, so I don't know what your results would be.
