Disable auto gateway start on MacOS?

How do I not autostart the Ignition gateway on MacOS?

I saw the Java service was a big impact on memory and CPU. I traced the processes and found it was Ignition running the Java service:

I do not always use the Ignition gateway on this machine. I can always run "ignition stop' from a terminal, but I prefer not to autostart. It would be better for the gateway not to run until I run 'ignition start'. I looked around and tried en edit on the plist, but the gateway still starts and Java runs.

Set this false?

Nope, still loads and runs Java:

After restart with the plist file edit:

This isn't really the answer to your actual question, but since I'm always using gateways for random development tasks, and have many different versions, I never use the installers. I use the zip distribution for Linux or Mac, just unzip it to ignition-x.y.z, then manually start or stop that gateway instance when needed.
