Thank you!

These are small business servers.  The CentOS server is the only server
on the network.  I start my VM's in rc.local and shut them down in
rd.shutdown (I wrote my own).  So, I am stuck with the command line.
Thank you for the heads up on running them twice!

But, on my new office machine, I will be running them headed, so I
will be using your instructions there.
