how do I *not* start something by default?

[Evan Huus]

The easiest way is to edit it's upstart file (/etc/init/tgt.conf or
similar), and add a fake event to it's 'start on' line.

So if it was previously
> start on started dbus
Turn it into
> start on (started dbus and myfakeevent)

Since myfakeevent is never emitted by the system, the job will never
start automatically, however you'll still be able to start it manually
with
> sudo start tgt

Hope this helps,
Evan
