JConsole isn't recognized as a command

Question

I'm trying to familiarize myself with JMX and I've been using the oracle tutorials to help me get up to speed. According to this link, I should run a Java application and then run jconsole.

However even though I have JDK 1.6.0_30 installed, jconsole is not a recognized command. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Do you have the bin of the JDK on the path, or the JRE's bin? If it's the latter, it won't work.
