IMO 'disabled' means 'never use, not startable', and > 'stopped' means 'don't use in this state, startable via admin interface'.
Which does not match with the current implementation: You can change between enable / disable over the admin interface but not between stopped / not stopped. I do not bother what it is called, but I think we should have names for the 3 cases I described above. And we should be able to set the status bit for 'enable/disable' 'stopped/not stopped' via the admin interface to be able to do such things like a graceful shutdown of a worker or what had been called a 'local worker' in mod_jk ages ago.
