Teamviewer linux without permanently running daemon

Teamviewer Linux has the annoying property of installing a permanently running daemon. This not only consumes resources but also presents a security risk. You can disable the daemon startup, however then the teamviewer client does not work anymore. The following script handles things automatically:

teamviewer-run.sh

#!/bin/sh
echo starting teamviewer daemon
sudo teamviewer --daemon enable
teamviewer &
wait $!
echo teamviewer finished
sudo teamviewer --daemon disable
echo stopped and disabled teamviewer daemon
