shell script xml

i have ben trying to make a shell script to make a xml boolean = true but when i try it makes the boolean a string here's my script
#!/bin/sh
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide true&&killall Dock&
can anyone help me?

I'm assuming the script is trying to turn on AutoHide and then restart the dock.

If so, I would think you'd need a semicolon in between, such as:

#!/bin/sh
defaults write com.apple.dock autohide TRUE; killall Dock

I'm no scripter, though I do mess around with the defaults a lot.

Well, never tried to auto hide the dock via command line, but digging around in the defaults, it looks like the command is:

$ defaults write com.apple.dock autohide -bool YES

Try it with this command.
