The console

The console is the server's control screen. It is the server's own window when it runs as a program, and attaches to the server when it runs as a service (see Running the server).

The top line shows the server's name, its ports, how long it has been up, how many are connected out of the most allowed, and whether it is a service.
The connections: number, name, telnet or rlogin, address, game and node, what they are doing, and since when.
The log, newest at the bottom. PgUp and PgDn scroll it.
The command line at the bottom. Up and Down recall earlier commands.

Everything updates every second.
