Thank you, Jeff. That's a really nice summary.  I wanted to make sure to get the part you said correct, how you said, "Some processes require manual intervention to stop before they can be started."  What I do is make sure that I'm signed in as the "ONLY execute as "userid" ", so for example, with Appworx that would be signed in as appworx. Then I do a "ps -ef | grep appw" to see everything running as appworx, then do the stop commands, then do the "ps -ef | grep appw" and kill anything still running if not now stopped, then do the start command -- that's basically what you mean by "manual intervention", just as one example w/ appworx, correct?
