Getting/Setting Do Not Disturb

AppleScript
#1

Hey Folks,

Does anyone know how to get the status of Do Not Disturb via Defaults?

And how to set them?

TIA.

Hey Folks,

I’ve discovered how to do this in the shell thanks to @Onan on the Keyboard Maestro Forum.

dndStat=$(defaults -currentHost read ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.notificationcenterui doNotDisturb)

if [[ $dndStat -eq 1 ]]; then
   echo "DND is ON!"
elif [[ $dndStat -eq 0 ]]; then
   echo "DND is OFF!"
fi

My attempts to read that property with AppleScriptObjC have so far failed…

Does this help?

use AppleScript version "2.7"
use framework "Foundation"
use scripting additions

set theDefaults to current application's NSUserDefaults's alloc()'s initWithSuiteName:"com.apple.notificationcenterui"
theDefaults's boolForKey:"doNotDisturb"
