Also, what happened to the option to run the server against a specific virtual library?
Because if you have two independent programs making changes to the same data store, you get data loss. I dont see why you cannot leave the GUI running, its not like leaving it running somehow consumes extra resources. Your RAM does not care how full it is.

As for a virtual library, setup a user account and specify as many library and virtual library restrictions as you like.
