  if [ -e "$JDK_HOME/bin/jstack" ]; then
  WORKER_PROC_ID=$(ps -ef | grep
  "$AGENT_HOME/monitor/air-worker.jar" | grep java | grep -v grep
  | awk '{print $2}')
  $JDK_HOME/bin/jstack $WORKER_PROC_ID >
  $AGENT_HOME/var/log/thread_dump.out 2>
  $AGENT_HOME/var/log/shutdown.out
  $JDK_HOME/bin/jmap -F
  -dump:file=$AGENT_HOME/var/log/heap_dump.hprof $WORKER_PROC_ID >
  $AGENT_HOME/var/log/shutdown.out 2>&1
  fi
  
  running the agent results in the following error :
