Trouble disabling One of Three GPU's (cgminer)

Hey Folks, long time lurker and huge fan of this amazing forum Cool

I have 3x 7970s, one HIS IceQ and 2x gigabyte Windforce models. Because the HIS needs such different setting to get a good hashrate, it needs a totally separate miner with its own config. Up until now I have been using a BAT file with the command  [ -d 1 d 2 ] and it works perfectly to disable card 0.

However, I would love to get CGwatcher working, which requires all the config be done by cgminer.conf

I have been trying for hours to figure out the syntax to disable gpu 0 and enable only gpu 1 and 2, but none work. I saw some advice to place two lines, for example: "device" : "1",
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             'device" : "2",
but this method only enables one card of the three! Any ideas?



Edit: It is similar to this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=172999. , its getting getting ckolivas' command to work that is the difficulty..
