I want to be able to start it from the shell, use it as needed, then kill it again to help aid security a bit. I don't like the idea of just leaving it running all the time if I don't need it. Anyone got any good suggestions for this? Maybe example start and kill scripts that could be executed at the command line? That way I make sure that I start and kill all related services correctly.
