how to start Nifi and disable any existing templates on canvas?

[#1]

I'd like to start Nifi and ignore any previously-running templates that were on canvas prior to nifi shutdown.

In nifi.properties, set the following to false:

nifi.flowcontroller.autoResumeState=true

This forces everything to a stopped state when Nifi restarts, rather than attempting to resume the previous states.
