Updated

Stop and start calls added
Along with refactoring to base line and use decorators.
Also modules loaded optionally if enabled in config or not
binds to ip / port set from config.json with warning if not localhost

TODO:
 - use argparse in client, and generally clean client up
 - create unit test
 - documentation
 - extend to other RCP commands, after feedback
