    Hi,

    sudo spctl --master-disable

    You can turn off gatekeeper with the spctl binary, but it might be more advantageous to use spctl to specifically (and programmatically) allow the apps you want to be white listed without end user intervention.

    ```
    spctl --add --label "White List by policy XYZ on yy/mm/dd" /Applications/Whatever.app
    ```

    A nice article on spctl and defaults was written by Charles Edge at http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/manage-gatekeeper-from-the-command-line-in-mountain-lion/. Also, you could disable the launch services quarantine as well as those subsystems are not common.
