how to specify a port when running jupyter notebook

[J E Cremona]

Is it possible to specify which port the jupyter notebook server runs on?  I think the default is 8888, but sometimes a different one is used (e.g.8889 if 8888 is in use).  I am running on a remote server so that other users may already be doing something on the default port.  In order to view the notebooks on my local machine's browser I use ssh-tunnelling and like to have the port numbers fixed in my ~/.ssh/config file.  This is awkward if I do not know in advance which port will be used.

Thanks:  I can confirm that adding --port=8889  to the command line (after sage -notebook=jupyter) does exactly what I needed.

Although this is obviously a jupyter thing and note a sage specific thing, I think it would be helpful to have this somewhere in the Sage documentation (I could not find it) and also visible in the "sage -h" output.

It is visible by

sage -n jupyter -h

or equivalently

sage -n jupyter --help

I agree it would be better to have a link from both "sage -h" and "sage -n -h", or at least a setence like

run "sage -n jupyter -h" for all options relative to the Jupyter notebook.
