Easily disable or enable Dashboard
Macworld posted a hint telling how to disable the dashboard in Tiger. Instead of typing those commands each time, I’ve created this simple shell script.
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$0" = "enable-dashboard" ]
then
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO
else
defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean ${1:-YES}
fi
killall Dock
Save this script as enable-dashboard in your command search path (/usr/local/bin is a good place) and make a link to it as disable-dashboard (ln enable-dashboard disable-dashboard).
If you run it as disable-dashboard it will disable your dashboard. Running it as enable-dashboard or disable-dashboard NO will re-enable your dashboard.
