Prevent further hotplug scripts from running

I have standard hotplug usb script and need to prevent it from running at the boot time (will run it later manually). I created script 00__before_script.sh (in another custom package), and it really runs before the target hotplug script, but whatever I return in my “before” script the target script I want to prevent from running still executes. AI states that exiting with 1 in hotplug script stops further device initialization, but it is not confirmed in docs and does not work.

Any ideas?

I do not want to modify or remove standard script and perform things with least custom changes to that package.

Thanks!

Write a file to /tmp and check for the file to exist or not to decide if the other script should run?
