Yes, I get that, but... as I said above I don't always want it starting
the BBS automatically when I bring up (or reboot) the computer. Also if
I want to take the BBS down for some maintenance or tweaking, it seems
much easier to just stop it, do the work, and then just start it again
manually. I know you can stop/start stuff with 'systemctl' but somehow
I find that awkward. Maybe I'm just set in my ways... Haha.
