• Command line
• Sockets to communicate with mother
• Variable in mother.conf for console port
• Mother listens and responds to commands on the console port

• Command line option -nn interval for compact, refreshed display.
• First version of console has to be supplied with a hostname and port number.
• Future versions (possibly when we introduce the grandmother) can take a $FATCHOME environment variable that points to a mother.conf file (to get a port number) as a discovery mechanism.
