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. > bum - graphical runlevel editor > ksysv - KDE SysV-style init configuration editor > gnome-system-tools - Cross-platform configuration utilities for GNOME > kde-guidance - collection of KDE system administration tools > > I know, too many choices.

Good luck :) 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. > - Chris B -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
