That could be accomplished easily with a shell script or an
Applescript. Here's one I did that checks the status of one, some or
all connected drives. This could be easily modded to turn Spotlight on
or off. If you contact me offlist I'll see about doing it. Note: this
script as written requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later.

Watch out for line wrap.

--> cut <--
set targ to choose from list (get list disks) with multiple selections
allowed -- wrapped
if targ is false then error number -128
set pw to text returned of (display dialog "Enter your Admin password:"
default answer "" with hidden answer) -- wrapped
set stats to {}
set scpt to "mdutil -s /volumes/"
repeat with aDisk in targ
   set temp to quoted form of contents of aDisk
   set end of stats to {do shell script scpt & temp password pw with
administrator privileges} -- wrapped
end repeat

set pw to ""
set newline to ASCII character 10
set temp to ""

repeat with x from 1 to count of stats
   set temp to temp & item x of stats & newline
end repeat

tell application "TextEdit"
   activate
   set doc to make new document
   set text of doc to temp
end tell
--> cut <--



Thanks! I tweaked it and it's ok (watch out the /volumes/ because it's /Volumes/, I use case sensitive FSs).

Thank you! I'll seek the next version of osx also :)
