Thank you so much!!!! This was exactly what I was trying to ask for but
I had no idea what it was called... Damn I feel dumb now, I think it was
because of the lack of sleep...
To the other posts, I was having trouble describing what I was tyring to
say, and I was rambling again, sorry about that, but now that I can
think a little better, basically, I have multiple Desktops and Laptops,
and I have a single machine I use for an FTP server that also runs SSH,
and then I have the rest of my boxes set up for various tasks, and
though I do firewall my machines, I just like being able to shut off
services and edit the run levels that certain things run in, but had
trouble describing it.

Yea that was basically what I was trying to say about shutting things
off without a tool that does it for you. I also have some Database apps
that I don't always need loaded, so it's nice to be able to shut them
off when not in use. That was more or less what I was trying to say just
couldn't think clearly from sleep problems.
