Hello everyone,
I’m discovering Legato framework (16.10.1) and I have an issue with it for my project :
when I turn on the plateform all my applications start automatically with Legato, I would like to disable that auto-start for **one specific application** (not all of them).
Any clues how to do it ?
Regards.

Setting the application to [start: manual](http://legato.io/legato-docs/latest/defFilesAdef.html#defFilesAdef_start) should do what you want. This can be done either in the .adef file for the application, or in the .sdef file for the system if your application is part of a system.
