Application to kill Dock
As I have explained in a previous post, everyday a few times I can not switch spaces directly by clicking on applications. The workaround is to kill Dock from Activity Monitor or typing “killall Dock” into command line. Performing this three times a day becomes quite annoying so I have done the following:
- Open ScriptEditor
- type: do shell script “killall Dock”
- From the file menu click Save As…
- Give a name like killDock
- Choose “application” as type
- use Quicksilver, Finder or your favorite application launcher to kill dock and solve the Spaces/Dock Problem.

Weird Spaces/Dock problem
Well if you are like me and have the weird problem of automatic space switching (where you click or switch to an application and the space it resides in opens automatically) stops working for some reason just go ahead and start activity problem and kill the process named “Dock”.
