First the caveat. I don't recall ever having to do this, it is just
an opinion. There may be some "elephant traps" ahead that I'm not
seeing.

I think that I would favour the "short circuit" method. Just make a
change to your script so that, prior to performing the test, it queries
the current test status. Then, if the test is currently disabled, the
script can exit without performing the test.

If the script is running on your BB server, you would be able to
access the required file directly. Otherwise, if the script runs 
on a client, you would probably have to query the status over HTTP.
In either case, I'd try and start the test again before the disabled
status is due to expire, to ensure that you don't end up with
unnecessary "purples".

Cheers, Phil.
