CentOS9
Keeping in mind this question: https://serverfault.com/questions/1099284/centos-how-to-keep-previous-service-state-on-reboot
It seems that it is not possible to achieve what I need. Is that correct?
What I need – to run a script which stops a service, collects and zips logs, then updates OS and reboots (in case there were kernel updates). My problem is that after the reboot the service starts again. It is undesirable.
One way to solve it would be to somehow make CentOS to run a script on this particular reboot, NOT any reboot. So this script can only be run after reboot from the script described above. The scripts stops the service again..
Is there a way to do so?

You can use a "flag" file and an
@reboot
cron
job:You can control behavior by creating (or not) the
$flag
file.
