OS 10.4 - Using the terminal

hey all, greetings from NC.

I need a way to relaunch the dock multiple times a day. I am using a special alarm widget in developer's mode that, for some reason, hides itself when the alarm goes off. Anyways, relaunching the dock seems to relauch the widget. I already contacted the developer's and until they sort out the problem, I was wondering if there was a way to automatically relaunch the dock several times a day at certain times.

First of all, Im pretty new to the terminal but with a little research, I found the killall Dock command does relaunch it. However, is there a way to save this in a way so that if i click an icon, it initiates (or if i use quicksilver to activate it).

Also, to automate the command, could i use Automator, or do I have to use something else. How would I go about it w/ automator or other prgms.


Thanks in advance,
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
