	That timing question crossed my mind today as well, as the shell 
actually logs me out after 65mins.  In fact, it just did so in the last 
couple hours (wasn't watching).  Services stuck around both when I was auto 
logged out, and when I manually exit the shell the last couple times I've 
tested it.
	Just used OperServ's RESTART command and services promptly 
returned in fine working order...here's snippets of debug level 3...

	I have another shell from which to run them (RedHat 7.3, versus 
the current FreeBSD one), which I 
may try tomorrow if this continues, just to try to rule another thing out.  
Thanks for the continued support and good work.
