One of the simplest ways to contribute to ControlPlane is by writing scripts. This page serves as a resource for finding scripts that are useful when combined with ControlPlane. You can then easily execute these AppleScripts in ControlPlane using the Open File action.
If you have created a script, please consider submitting your script to http://hints.macworld.com and then linking to the approved submission. This will help ensure your script reaches a larger audience.
If you have found a script, feel free to simply link to it from here.

- Fine Volume Control: Increase or decrease volume by very small amounts.
- Lock Computer: Lock the computer by showing the login screen.
- Reboot into Windows: Immediately shutdown and boot into Windows.
- Switching Time Machine Drives: This script allows you to switch your Time Machine destination drive.
