I would like to setup bitcoind to run in the background but not have live bindings.
I have tried the following:
bitcoind
bitcoind -server
bitcoind -daemon
bitcoind -daemon -server
bitcoin.conf (server=0)
0.8.1 seems to bind to 127.0.0.1:8332, 0.0.0.0:8333, ::1:8332, :::8333
How do i disable all bindings and have bitcoind respond via command line, while maintaining new blocks? OR How do i bind only to 127.0.0.1:8332?
Goal: duplicate mysqld behavior.

it seems the following is the answer to both questions:
// bitcoind.conf, v0.8.1
irc=0
listen=0
rpcpassword=<hash>
this results in a 127.0.0.1:8332 and ::1:8332 listen only. i was unsuccessful in locating a command that disables ipv6 listens. the onlynet= command limits peer connection types, not listen types.
listen=0 disables live listens, but does not affect localhost binds. the bind= command only works if listen=1 note that rpcuser= is set default to root if omitted and only accessible by a user with said credentials. disabling all listens would make the daemon inaccessible by command line. the server= command only works for bitcoin-qt.
