Short term manual fix would be to turn the beacon off before closing
pskmail then you have control over when you start the beacon when
pskmail is next started.
Not ideal but it will solve the problem.
This issue has been mentioned in the past, the beacon really needs to be
inhibited for a few minutes from start up.
