This is quite handy, being able to specify an S for single, or 3 for console-only, etc. I've been looking around, and I was just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to set this up. Once realized, I would be happy to write up some docs about how to accomplish this. I don't really care how it has to be done, I just know that, especially on my laptop and some servers there are times when we don't want a lot of extra overhead for specialized tasks and maintenence-boots. Is this possible? Thanks, --Mike
