To stop all Cobalt's GUI operations, one needs to:

a) stop it from loading on boot. chmod 644 /etc/rc.d/init.d/admserv will
   do the trick, in my opinion.

b) stop all cobalt-related cronjobs. (only active monitor, unless someone
   else thinks otherwise, and I stand to be corrected)
   In file /etc/crontab, comment (add a leading #) the last line, :
   0,15,30,45 * * * * root /usr/local/sbin/swatch >>/var/cobalt/adm.log 2>&1           

Comments? I'm listening! :-)

HTH,
