To the best of my knowledge, it is off. I noticed mds was trying to
run, but since Spotlight is off using the following commands in
Terminal, I believe it is off. Perhaps it tries to Startup, but failed.
I did turn it back on awhile ago, but at your suggestion, I turned it
back off ...

Just leaving things as is for now ...
As long as I don't turn off the power strip holding the monitor,
amplifier, mixer and yamaha motif digital KB, it doesn't seem to
falter. All my Wall Warts and the Tower are on a main one, which stays
on all the time. Now they both will remain on.
Thanks for looking.
