If you open it, you’ll get multiple Notification Center icons in the menu bar.
Now, just for giggles, Notification Center is actually the /System/Library/CoreServices/NotificationCenter.app and in there lies the /System/Library/CoreServices/NotificationCenter.app/Contents/MacOS/NotificationCenter binary. The easy way to then get it back is to reboot. Sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ KeepAlive -bool true If you want to re-enable Notification Center, you’d just run the same with a true: Then, if you kill NotificationCenter off, it’ll stay off: Sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ KeepAlive -bool false
To disable Notification Center from the command line, write a KeepAlive key that is false into the /System/Library/LaunchAgents/ like so: As you can see, Notification Center then starts back up the next day. Simply click on the Notification Center icon in the menu bar and then scroll up to see the “Show Alerts and Banners” button. It’s easy to disable Notification Center temporarily using the GUI. Since I’ve been killing it off with a script, this was a pretty straight forward task. Ive been running at a very cool 52 degrees-ish for a few days since I chopped the processor back to 1GHz. I know, I know, it shouldn’t matter… But recently, a customer asked me to script disabling Notification Center. for CoolBookController in order to shut it up. One thing that I’ve been able to do that extends my battery life a little more (maybe an extra half hour) is to kill off Notification Center (I wrote about customizing Notification Center earlier here). But that doesn’t work as of Lion (certainly not in Mountain Lion). I even used to used an app called CoolBookController to throttle my processor speeds while flying. Hi Ive noticed something weird lately on my late 2010 MBA 11.6 ultimate. Some are obvious, such as dimming the screen, only using an app at a time, killing off menu items, temporarily stop Spotlight Indexing and killing off LaunchDaemons and LaunchAgents that I’m not using. There are a number of tricks that I use to extend battery life. It lets you monitor the frequency, voltage and temperature.
#COOLBOOKCONTROLLER PRO#
Click On (default) or Off to change the settings. CoolBook is a tool for the MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro computers. Click the HP CoolSense icon in the task bar to display the configuration box. The HP CoolSense icon is displayed on the task bar. In Windows, search for and open HP CoolSense.
#COOLBOOKCONTROLLER MAC#
Ever since moving to Mountain Lion (yes, this includes 10.8.2), I’m lucky to get 3 hours of battery life out of the Mac that used to give me at least 5 hours… To configure the cooling preferences on computers with HP CoolSense, follow the steps below. These days, it’s increasingly important to conserve battery life as the transition to Mountain Lion (Mac OS X 10.8) has caused my battery life to spiral into so much of a vortex that I am concerned that my laptop must be shooting raw electricity out of the bottom (which would certainly explain why my hair has a tendency to be perpendicular with the ground when I exit a plane). System/Library/Extensions/IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources/Ĭompare different models and choose the right values.There are a few ways I like to extend my battery life on my MacBook Air. For instance - it will work with MacBook5,1 and will not work with MacBook1,1Īlternatively you can leave any model but change the platform configuration file to enable SpeedStep.
It is more correct to say power management and CPU frequency control or simply EIST - Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology.
