	trace_list	Connects to controller and prints list of available
			traces.

	trace_view	Live view of a trace using gnuplot.

Installing locally
==================

A webserver is needed to present the console gui to the web browser. Configure
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default (or the default-ssl file) as followss,
where htdocs is located in /var/console/console/htdocs:

        DocumentRoot /var/console/console/htdocs
        <Directory "/var/console/console/htdocs">
                AllowOverride None
                AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
                Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>

Running locally
===============

Start the controller:
	cd controller; ./dt_ctrl dt_ctrl.ctrl

Start the console:
	cd console/console/bin; ./start_console.sh

Make sure your webbrowser can handle sufficient tcp connections in parallel to
the webserver. For Firefox, set in about:config this:

	network.http.max-connections-per-server=15
