Script to move dock?

Hi,

Anybody knows of a way to move the dock (e.g. from the left to the bottom) with AppleScript?

Or maybe something on the command line (and then call it from the script)?

Thanks!

This is easily done via the defaults shell command:

do shell script "defaults write com.apple.dock orientation left && killall -HUP Dock"

Replace 'left' with 'bottom' or 'right' as desired.
