Sorry if this is posted the wrong place, but I saw some requests here earlier.
In System Preferences -> Security -> General -> Advanced there is a check-box for enabling the IR-receiver (effectivly enabling/disabling the remote control).
Since we have multiple macs and an apple tv in our home, but only one remote, I use it quite a lot to avoid confusion on the different machines.
It would be great to be able to toggle this with alfred since its buried quite deep.
Thanks.
