[hobbit] Using enable/disable administration

[Josh Luthman]

Great!

./bin/bbcmd ./bin/bb 127.0.0.1 "disable Kancharla-nullbox.imaginenetx.com.*-1"

This worked perfectly while I was in /home/shire/server - I didn't know that
bbcmd was an environmental setting script!

Now the biggest concern I have is being able to enable/disable via the web
interface.  I just tried, what I believe, the exact same attempt a second
time on the web interface and it seems to have disabled it as expected.
I'll come back to this if any problems arise again.

Thank you very much for your help!
