profiler.sh file is missing

[praveennish]

I have used async profiler earlier with profiler.sh for flamegraph. This file is missing but README file contains documentation for profiler.sh. This is confusing

Thanks! I have downloaded the aforesaid package. while I ran profiler.sh command
./profiler.sh -d 60 -f /tmp/flamegraph.html PID
it fails with error message
"Failed to inject profiler into PID"

The README refers to the latest release 2.9, which has profiler.sh as a launcher.
In the current version being developed, profiler.sh has been replaced with the binary launcher asprof - see #724 for details. In most cases, profiler commands will work with asprof just the same way as they did with profiler.sh.

As to "Failed to inject profiler" message, it is described in the Troubleshooting section in README. You can also find a number of previous discussions here among github issues. If you profile a containerized application, make sure the container can access profiler library at the same path as on the host. On Alpine Linux, you may also need to install libstdc++ package.

Thanks @apangin ! I found #78
copying async profiler to user(who is running this process) home directory fixed the issue!
