"Automagically"?  When you install a server package, configure it, and
start it, and it then provides services, would you really describe that
as not only automated, but like magic?

It seems to me that that's a pretty pessimistic view of server software
in general.  My own expectation is that if I install, configure and
start a daemon - any daemon - it will provide whatever services it is
supposed to provide.  And if it does, I don't see anything especially
automatic or magical about it.  I mean, _all_ software is "automatic"
in a sense, and very little software is really "magic".

All of which is to say, I would drop the word 'automagically'.  And not
just because I dislike neologisms, although I do.
