Cool.  I see this in my hobbitlaunch.cfg:

[bbpage]
ENVFILE /home/bb/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=page   --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/page.log 
hobbitd_alert

I would just add "DISABLED" to that section, right?  Like this?:

[bbpage]
DISABLED
ENVFILE /home/bb/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg
NEEDS hobbitd
CMD hobbitd_channel --channel=page   --log=$BBSERVERLOGS/page.log 
hobbitd_alert
