Blacklist would give me the same as 'rfkill block bluetooth' did in the .profile file. What I have now discovered comes from carefully looking at the source code for gnome-control-center bluetooth and found that it uses rfkill - though through changing access to the /dev/rfkill file. I now have the following notes: the command 'rfkill block bluetooth' stops bluetooth Can put in the ~/.profile file But note that bluetooth cannot then be started by any method without commenting the above out, and re-booting. HOWEVER if the above command is put into /etc/rc.local then 'sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth' will do a proper restart, and restart will also take place from the Bluetooth icon, or the Bluetooth settings application. Feel free to put in any Ubuntu wiki or notes.
