osascript -e 'tell application "KeyCast"' -e 'set enabled to true' -e 'end tell'

# disable
osascript -e 'tell application "KeyCast"' -e 'set enabled to false' -e 'end tell'

eg. (on Yosemite)

# enable
osascript -l JavaScript -e 'Application("KeyCast").enabled = true;' 
 
#disable
osascript -l JavaScript -e 'Application("KeyCast").enabled = false;'
