Disable Growl pop-up notifications via AppleScript
Authored by: imcquill on Dec 04, '08 09:39:13AM

If the author wrote it, it probably has some use to them.

I will give one example of how this could be used for someone I know. This person works regular hours and there are always people hovering around.. one might not want to have their private mail messages displayed on screen when people are around. Or have their twitter messages come up on screen when people could be watching their screen. So that person may want to disable growl during the day when they are at work, but use it the rest of the time.

So take the applescript, save it as an app, and make a launchd entry so that growl gets disables at some sensible time before work, and gets enabled at some sensible time after work all automatically. Or have the applescript be triggered by an ical event, say 15 minutes before a presentation. Otherwise, they may forget to actual turn off growl in the menubar each time. Applescript has some advantages over doing something manually.
