When running JMeter in non-GUI mode, there is no Menu, and JMeter does not
react to keystrokes such as Control + '.'.
-So in versions after 2.3.2, JMeter non-GUI mode will listen for commands on a

+So JMeter non-GUI mode will listen for commands on a specific port (default
4445, see the JMeter property <code>jmeterengine.nongui.port</code>).
+JMeter supports automatic choice of an alternate port if the default port is
being used
(for example by another JMeter instance). In this case, JMeter will try the
next higher port, continuing until
it reaches the JMeter property <code>jmeterengine.nongui.maxport</code>) which
defaults to 4455.
If <code>maxport</code> is less than or equal to <code>port</code>, port
scanning will not take place.
-Note that JMeter 2.4 and earlier did not set up the listener for non-GUI
clients, only non-GUI standalone tests;
-this has been fixed.

The chosen port is displayed in the console window.
