Thanks andrewheiss and ckim! I was delighted to discover that this script still seems to work in Yosemite 10.2.2. I am uncomfortable keeping custom executables in my ~/ folder because I feel like they will eventually get lost. But, oh well. I discovered a need in order to use a utility called MacID, an iOS app and OS X client that use bluetooth to enable touch unlocking a Mac using an iPhone.
