So currently we have a config.js file which exports a list of {apps} which pm2 takes and starts up (pm2 start core.config.js).

However some of these must not actually be started. In other words it must start in a downed state. This is cause if a client manually sets certain services(processes) to be off, pm2 must not start them but they should still be visible on pm2 status but as "Stopped" or "disabled"

Example would be the integrationMicroService in the image
