  62 The command-line options\&. See Options\&.
  63 .TP     
  64 connection = \fIpid\fR | \fIhost\fR:\fIport\fR | \fIjmxURL\fR
  65 The \f3pid\fR value is the process ID of a local Java Virtual Machine (JVM)\&. The JVM must be running with the same user ID as the user ID running the \f3jconsole\fR command\&.The \f3host:port\fR values are the name of the host system on which the JVM is running, and the port number specified by the system property \f3com\&.sun\&.management\&.jmxremote\&.port\fR when the JVM was started\&.The \f3jmxUrl\fR value is the address of the JMX agent to be connected to as described in JMXServiceURL\&.
  66 
  67 For more information about the \f3connection\fR parameter, see Monitoring and Management Using JMX Technology at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/management/agent\&.html

  69 See also the \f3JMXServiceURL\fR class description at http://docs\&.oracle\&.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/management/remote/JMXServiceURL\&.html
  70 .SH DESCRIPTION    
  71 The \f3jconsole\fR command starts a graphical console tool that lets you monitor and manage Java applications and virtual machines on a local or remote machine\&.
  72 .PP
  73 On Windows, the \f3jconsole\fR command does not associate with a console window\&. It does, however, display a dialog box with error information when the \f3jconsole\fR command fails\&.

  83 .TP
  84 -pluginpath \fIplugins\fR
  85 .br
  86 Specifies a list of directories or JAR files to be searched for \f3JConsole\fR plug-ins\&. The \fIplugins\fR path should contain a provider-configuration file named \f3META-INF/services/com\&.sun\&.tools\&.jconsole\&.JConsolePlugin\fR that contains one line for each plug-in\&. The line specifies the fully qualified class name of the class implementing the \f3com\&.sun\&.tools\&.jconsole\&.JConsolePlugin\fR class\&.
