Automaticly disable monitor when another (specific) monitor is attached

[Eun]

Disable a set of monitors when another monitor is attached.
For example: plugging in HDMI.

Status: Beta in G1.9

Possibly along these lines. It would be great if a disabled monitors state persisted on restart. Obviously would need to check that it isn't the ONLY monitor left just in case.
I have a media screen I want turned off by default while I'm working.

ControlPlane + the command line could possibly do this, but the command line doesn't actually work for me. I have the following script:

#!/bin/bash

set -e

DM=/Applications/DisableMonitor.app/Contents/MacOS/DisableMonitor
BUILTIN=69680128

PHL=`$DM -l | grep -v '^ ID' | grep -v '^--' | grep PHL`
if [ -z "$PHL" ] ; then
  $DM -e $BUILTIN
else
  $DM -d $BUILTIN
fi

(69680128 is my built-in laptop screen, the PHL is a USB docking station), but the enable/disable calls just hang.

The calls also just hang for me.
