Beagle absolutely has this feature.  In fact, we had it first. :)

A patch to Beagle in FC6 as it shipped broke things pretty badly.  Do
you have the latest updates?  This bug would cause Beagle to hang a few
minutes after it was started.  You can try running "beagle-info
--status" and see if it returns anything, or if it just hangs.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212370 for more
info.
