The term jlinkx64sys likely refers to a specific invocation of jlink for creating a Linux runtime image on an x86-64 (64-bit) system. Since no legitimate binary exists in public records,

When you use jlink with options similar to jlinkx64sys, you're likely creating a base JRE image for Linux on x86-64 architectures. This base image can then be used to create more specialized runtime images for specific applications by including their modules. When you use jlink with options similar to

ps aux | grep jlinkx64sys systemctl status jlinkx64sys # if a service
