Moving the menu bar

[mcmuffy]

Hi

I have a macbook that I use with an external monitor set as primary and the laptop screen as secondary. Now I know I can switch the menu between monitors by dragging the bar in display prefs but is there a way to do this via some sort of script so that I can assign the function to a key?

I'm sure it would be possible to write a script to control the location of it, after all it's just going to be a variable but I don't see why you'd need to. I plug my macbook into a external display all the time. As soon as I go mobile, OSx automagically moves the bar to laptops screen and when I dock it, it goes to the external display. There's no need to manually change it as far as I can see...

The monitor is also used by another machine, ok a PC to play WoW, and it would be easier to move control to the laptop screen with a keypress rather than mess around with the monitor settings.
