I'm looking to write a quick and dirty script that will disable/enable the dashboard in Tiger. I found the instructions to do this via the Terminal:

To disable:
1. defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES
2. killall Dock
3. if dock icon still present, drag off to “poof” away

To re-enable:
1. defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
2. killall Dock

I'm just don't know anything about syntax in the Terminal so am hoping someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance!!!

That said - if there is already a simple product out there that does this I'd be open to using it. I tried DashboardKiller but it doesn't work properly for me (or anyone else who's reviewed it on Macupdate.com).

Cheers.

K so I answered my own question (sort of) by Googling a little harder. Lol. If anyone else is looking for what I was, you can find it here: http://www.natal.be/DisableEnableDashboard.dmg
