wouldn't bet on it

unless that command actually runs how you wrote it, I mean without specifying the user, but that's probably not the case ... although I don't get those extra characters on the line strange

if it restarts then it's normal for it to get a new PID, wouldn't get the original one, but as to why it restarts I can't think of anything ... any weird applications running?

the only way how to restart the Dock that I know of is by sending it a kill signal by PID, so I'm not sure what can be causing the restarts
