Disabling banners and Spaces

I have two Self Serivce policies that will enable/disable notification center.

This will kill Notification Center (aka Banners)

1#!/bin/sh
2sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui KeepAlive -bool False
3killall NotificationCenter

This will turn them back on.

1#!/bin/sh
2sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui KeepAlive -bool True
3killall NotificationCenter

I'm sure there is something similar you could do for spaces. I haven't messed around with this. Just to note... It could cause problems with any user that wants to view apps in "full screen"

I did figure something else out as well after I posted this. I can use Composer and tell it to take a "New and Modified Snapshot", change the settings, and then finish the snapshot. It does require a reboot of the computer, but I can create a DMG of that and both of those settings will take effect. Is there a reason that this would be a problem?

Thank you for this option by the way.

I generally try to avoid that approach, only because I have been burned by unforeseen effects down the road. Doesn't mean your approach is bad... Its just a personal preference thing.

@andrew This is great. How would you suggest I disable notification banners and badges for one specific application?
