State: open

I have some services that I run using monit. I'd like to be able to disable the service on system startup so that monit can take care of starting everything in the right order. Currently I have to pick either service.running or service.dead so that I can disable the service. While this is fine, it means that the service gets killed (in the case of dead) or started (in the case of running) every time I update states. My dream is to see something like this:

myservice:
service:
- disabled
