    One solution is to change the TCPSTART.CMD file so that those daemons that 
can run detached are started with DETACH rather than START.  For instance,
PORTMAPPER and SENDMAIL run just fine detached, and detached apps don't show
up in the task list.  If they aren't in the task list, OS/2 doesn't ask you if 
you want to shut them down when you do a shutdown.  It can make the whole
thing alot cleaner during boot, too, since you don't have to watch them open
and then minimize the windows manually.

    Note: some of the daemons don't work right when detached... TELNETD and
FTPD come to mind.
