I wish to correct my post below which (I'm happy to say) is entirely inaccurate. At first I had thought simply to delete my post but then it occurred to me that perhaps others would misunderstand as well, so I wish to correct the record here.
LogMeIn under OS X can indeed be terminated by the user -- I simply didn't catch sight of the menu item it installs in the upper-right of the screen. It can either be temporarily disabled, (which will leave LMI processes running in the background) or it can be exited outright (in which case the processes will terminate).
This is precisely what I was looking for, and I'm sorry for giving anyone a fault impression about this otherwise very good software.

Sets User rights that can be removed

The set user-rights that the program surely needs could not be withdrawn even after de-installation of Log-Me-In. It has set itself up as an admin user on the public library; and this option can not be withdrawn. That does not feel good, and I am having trouble with user-rights...
So unlike LogMeIn on the Windows platform, under the Mac there is no apparent way to exit this software or prevent it from running. This is very bad behavior.
Remote access software such as LogMeIn adds to the security risks of ANY computer. This is not the fault of the LMI developers but rather is simply the nature of the beast; and it's a trade-off I'm often willing to make during those times I want to perform a remote-control session.
But when the session is done, I don't want LMI artifacts continuing to run behind the scenes, out of my control, and refusing to terminate even when I give the command to do so. This is inexcusable. The LMI developers need to make a provision whereby the user has full control over whether this software does or does not run at any given time. Failing that, I would refuse to use this software.
This is a deal-breaker for me.
