Remove items from the Services menu
the following shell script/command allows you to turn on/off the (NS) services for all apps. for each app you can turn on all its services on or off. you get rid of unused services and your clustered menu. and maybe faster logins (is it faster?)
all modifications of the info.plists in your apps are backed up in your apps. this means: you can move your apps around after modification or do whatever you want with them. you just have to regenerate the app-list with the script before newly enabling/disabling services (if you moved some nss apps). copy the script below into a text file, save it as "/bin/nss" or somewhere else in your path. open terminal, type "chmod +x /bin/nss" and then "rehash". now you can start it just with "nss". one last note: if you move a modified app out of the folders that are watched for (NS) services apps = those that are checked by the script to generate the app-list, then you can't reenable the services anymore because the script does not find the app. just move the app somewhere in the searched folders and regenerate the app-list. the searched folders are: /applications, /library, /system/library, yourhome/applications, yourhome/library tested & used on jaguar, greetings zeorge [robg adds: I removed the first script, as the second version below contains a bug correction.]
