Mostly solved by simple scripts.
If you really start/stop dhcp samba etc etc very often then just create aliases 
for them, way simpler.
DHCP don't need configurations and Samba is configured via a conf file. 
May be Atari's version is different, I don't use Samba on Atari... sorry if I am 
wrong on this one.
