From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

it would be really useful to have a gradle command where you give it 2 different process IDs, and Gradle  will output information like, “jvm version is different” or something

I think your best bet is `jps -vl`, and manually looking through <https://docs.gradle.org/8.0/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#compatibility>

Usually the jvmargs or the JAVA_HOME different.

To see a full non-text representation, I would use `jvisualvm` and diff the params.

You can easily notice JAVA_HOME, GradleVersion and `-X...m` (jvmArgs) being different in these two.

Are you trying to diagnose:
&gt;  Starting a Gradle Daemon, 1 incompatible and 1 stopped Daemons could not be reused, use --status for details
and then
```$ gradlew --status
   PID STATUS   INFO
 44496 IDLE     8.0
 18376 IDLE     8.0```
:face_with_rolling_eyes:

obviously I can dig through logs and figure out what’s different, but I just want to be able to _easily_ see what is different

Fire a feature request in gradle/gradle please! `8.0` is clearly not "details"...

just filed <https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/24587>

I think the best would be if --status actually gave details compared to the current Daemon running against all the ones listed.
