<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">There is no access to a console in service mode. This is part of why<br>
the xmlrpc admin stuff exists.<br>
<br>
Logging can be configured to go to a file instead of the console.<br>
<br>
Dumping is handled by the OS, and if it does dump the service manager<br>
will automatically restart it.<br>
