The way I usually do it is open a javascript console and type:

   >> window.debugging = "all"

And then cockpit should start spewing output into the console.

If you want to just do "spawn" it's a little more tricky, as you (now)
have to get that command into the right cockpit frame:

    >> for (x in window.frames) { x.debugging = "spawn"; };

Hope that helps. This sounds like something we should document, and
perhaps make the second case a bit better.

Cheers,

Stef
