bluetooth and the command line
Anyone know what I need to do to control bluetooth (as in turning it on/off or checking it's status and what devices are using it) from the terminal?

Hi Omjoy,
As far as I know this situation hasn't changed: here's the man page for 'blued':
Doesn't look good.
It seems the only Bluetooth development path is via Cocoa and the Bluetooth SDK (part of the device drivers download found here).
Example apps are already located in /Developer/Examples/Bluetooth/ and as far as I know may well be the same as what's included in the download.
