Yes, though errors in startup are harder to debug because the system is not initialized. In your bin/profile.ijs file, set debug on, i.e. at the beginning add: 13!:0[1 Now when starting jconsole the system will suspend on error. Use the debug commands to examine the state, e.g. 13!:13'' gives the stack.
