Pardon me for following up my own post, but there is room for a range of functions here other than trace that could send their output to the command line where the server was started.
watch ($var) -> $var is sent to the console on the line this statement is made with the statment "now watching 'var'.. init value "x", and then each time it changes it is updated in the console. traceStack() -> as trace, but the current stack is reported. traceAll() Return all variables in local scope and the current stack. stop() Halt execution as die or exit, unlike them it's arguments are sent to console instead of browser.
