Adjust brightness from Terminal
Authored by: spencermefford on Jun 08, '13 11:03:58AM

You'll need to recompile it to work on Mountain Lion, but it's really easy. First, grab the source from http://dev.sabi.net/svn/dev/trunk/LocationDo/brightness.c and save it somewhere on your computer. Pop open terminal and run the following command from the same directory as brightness.c:

gcc -std=c99 -o brightness brightness.c -framework IOKit -framework ApplicationServices

You must have XCode installed to run this, and it worked like a charm for me. Move to /usr/local/bin and make sure it has the correct permissions. Hope this is helpful.
