Workaround for Leopard
Authored by: ccjensen on Nov 26, '08 12:59:31PM

figured I would throw in my solution which was based upon the original post.


on run argv

	if length of argv is not 1 then

		return

	end if

	

	set switch to item 1 of argv as string

	

	tell application "System Events" to tell the front menu bar of process "SystemUIServer"

		set menu_extras to value of attribute "AXDescription" of menu bar items

		repeat with x from 1 to the length of menu_extras

			if item x of menu_extras is "bluetooth" then exit repeat

		end repeat

		tell menu bar item x

			click

			tell 2nd menu item of front menu

				if name ends with switch then

					set clicked to true

					click

				else

					set clicked to false

				end if

			end tell

			if not clicked then

				click

			end if

		end tell

	end tell

end run

This code takes a single argument: the desired action (ie On or Off)

It would be run from the terminal:
osascript /path/to/script/name_of_script_file.scpt On
osascript /path/to/script/name_of_script_file.scpt Off
