Start in stopped mode

[zontafil]

Hello, I'm trying to build a dev environment with pm2.
Basically I'm planning to install needed deps with pm2 deploy, but I need to add my services to pm2 list without starting them, as I need to start them later manually.
Is it possible, or am I thinking about the problem the wrong way?

thanks.

They will just start then. Why would you need to add them to the process database in advance?

I would like to have the same functionality. I only need to start the load balancer process on deployment and let it start the other processes when needed, otherwise, the server will be overloaded on deployment.

I'm going through the issues to find mentions about not auto-starting a new process, which I now created a PR for:
#5780
