Say we know one node is temporarily dysfunctional and it won't go up no matter what. Yet when we do admintools -t start_db, it keeps on waiting for that node forever so we just Ctrl+C it. Is there a better way of instructing the cluster to run without that one node for the time being?

Thanks, but that case is about a permanently down node that needs to be removed from the cluster. In my case a node is temporarily down and I just want to use the reduced cluster for a week. It actually works my way, I am just a bit concerned about it constantly trying to connect the down node and me having to use CTRL+C in admintools to get out of the waiting situation. I was wondering if I could tell the cluster to leave the down node be until further notice but to not decommission it.
