Automator applications for toggling dashboard on and off.
The dashboard is part of the dock application, and merely shows the dashboard, not launch or quit it. Furthermore, you should note that open widgets on your dashboard still work even after they are hidden, and they utilize memory and CPU. As such, if you wish to free up space and temporarily turn off dashboard, you can do so by double-clicking on the TurnOffWidgets application.
However, the good news is that DashOffOn comes with a TurnOnWidgets application that you can use when you're ready to bring your dashboard back on. It works just like it did before you turned it off, the widgets you had open are still there.
