ProcDump is a command-line utility whose primary purpose is monitoring an application for CPU spikes and generating crash dumps during a spike that an administrator or developer can use to determine the cause of the spike. ProcDump also includes hung window monitoring (using the same definition of a window hang that Windows and Task Manager use), unhandled exception monitoring and can generate dumps based on the values of system performance counters. It also can serve as a general process dump utility that you can embed in other scripts.
usage: procdump [-64] [[-c CPU usage] [-u] [-s seconds]] [-n exceeds] [-e [1]] [-h] [-m commit usage] [-ma] [-o] [-p counter threshold] [-r] [-t] < [dump file]] | [-x [arguments]>
-64 By default Procdump will capture a 32-bit dump of a 32-bit process when running on 64-bit Windows. This option overrides to create a 64-bit dump.
-c CPU threshold at which to create a dump of the process.
-e Write a dump when the process encounters an unhandled exception.
-h Write dump if process has a hung window (does not respond to
window messages for at least 5 seconds).
-m Memory commit threshold in MB at which to create a dump of the process.
-ma Write a dump file with all process memory. The default dump format includes thread and handle information.
-n Number of dumps to write before exiting.
-o Overwrite an existing dump file.
-p Trigger on the specified performance counter when the threshold is exceeded.
-r Reflect (clone) the process for the dump to minimize the time the process is suspended (Windows 7 and higher only).
-s Consecutive seconds CPU threshold must be hit before dump is written (default is 10).
-t Write a dump when the process terminates.
-u Treat CPU usage relative to a single core.
-x Launch the specified image with optional arguments.
Use the -accepteula command line option to automatically accept the Sysinternals license agreement.
To just create a dump of a running process, omit the CPU threshold. If you omit the dump file name, it defaults to .dmp.
