If anyone is experiencing this same notification annoyance with the
Recovery HD here is my script that blocked actions only, the notification
is still displayed on the computer.
*using terms from* *application* "Growl"
*on* *evaluate notification* with notification
*ignoring* *case*
*if* notification's note title *contains* "Recovery" *then*
*return* {actions:*none*}
*end* *if*
*end* *ignoring*
*end* *evaluate notification*
*end* *using terms from*
Thanks everyone for your help.
