Application to kill Dock

Posted in Mac by Alpay on May 2nd, 2008

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:

  1. Open ScriptEditor
  2. type: do shell script “killall Dock”
  3. From the file menu click Save As…
  4. Give a name like killDock
  5. Choose “application” as type
  6. use Quicksilver, Finder or your favorite application launcher to kill dock and solve the Spaces/Dock Problem.
