It is good to disable widgets to save memory if your computer does not have much.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

usage()

{

    #echos program name which is $0 and then a binary number

    echo "Usage: Enter 1 to enable or 0 to disable as the script parameter";

        echo "$0 1"

}

if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then

    if [ $1 -eq 1 ]; then

        defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO

    echo "enabled widgets"

        killall Dock

    elif [ $1 -eq 0 ]; then

        defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES

    echo "disabled widgets"

        killall Dock

    else

        usage;

    fi

else

   usage;    

fi

what exactly does "fi" do in bash?

end a if statement in bash closing statements is the word spelled backwords unless its a loop then you use done. like for a case statement beginning->case end-> esac

I made a correction to my script I had if [ $# > 1 ]; then instead of if [ $# -gt 0 ]; then what my first statement was doing it justing making a file name 1 in the current directory lol
