Growl includes a feature to pause and resume notifications, which is very useful when giving presentations or screen sharing. Unfortunately, the UI only exposes this feature via the menu icon. With this script you can hide the icon and control notifications via a launcher such as QuickSilver or Alfred.
* Pause and resume Growl. Use in a launcher like Quicksilver or Alfred to
* pause and resume Growl when the menu bar icon is disabled.
