The Hobbit enable/disable tool sends the enable/disable commands to all
of the servers listed in the BBDISPLAYS setting in hobbitserver.cfg. So
if you have that setup in your config, it will automatically propagate
to all of the servers.

Note that when using multiple servers, it is recommended that you have
the local server FIRST in the list of servers in BBDISPLAYS.
