from the manual:

DAEMON_LIST

This macro determines what daemons the condor_master will start and
keep its watchful eyes on. The list is a comma or space separated list
of subsystem names (listed in section 3.3.1). For example,

        DAEMON_LIST = MASTER, STARTD, SCHEDD

NOTE: This configuration variable cannot be changed by using
condor_reconfig or by sending a SIGHUP.  To change this configuration
variable, restart the condor_master daemon by using
condor_restart.  Only then will the change take effect.

as mentioend, you can use "condor_off -startd" on the machine, and
then the master won't restart it automatically (if you just SIGTERM'ed
it, the master would restart it).  if/when the master is restarted
(either condor_restart, a machine reboot, whatever), your new
DAEMON_LIST setting will be used and it won't spawn the startd.
