Start/Stop All SVS Layers at the Same Time

How many of you are (like me) dealing with a lot of virtual layers and (like me) get tired of activating and deactivating them?
Every time you create or update any layer, you have to deactivate every other layer.
Here's a solution.
You can use the svscmd.exe command-line utility to activate/deactivate layers, but there is no option to deactivate all running layers at one time.
I wrote a small "svskill" Perl script, which can be used to deactivate all running layers. You can also start all layers, which are marked as "automatic startup".
The compiled .exe file is a binary of the script. Just copy it to your PATH and use it with:
svskill [start|stop]

Erhm...
Did you ever try:
svscmd * A
or svscmd * D -F

this is too easy ;) ...
... and not documented - with the small script just the "autostart" layers are started.
Use the Admin Utility
Using the Admin utility, select all (ctl-A) then right click and select activate or deactivate.

Trinket Option
If you install the SVS Trinket, you get an option in the task bar icon that lets you de-activate all.
