correction: bitcoin-qt/bitcoind command-line arguments have a single-dash, so it would be @p{brk}
  bitcoin-qt -server @p{par}

Since you have to set a rpcuser/rpcpassword in the bitcoin.conf file for -server to work anyway, you might want to put "server=1" in the bitcoin.conf file instead of using the command-line argument... @p{brk}
