Update http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/Q&A_2.html

There is better options then included "emmett" binary:

  • Pure manual – http://krypted.com/mac-os-x/adding-objects-to-the-dock/ (only at the end of Dock section)
  • Python script – https://github.com/kcrawford/dockutil (you can specified position)

I'm not sure using defaults to change the contents of a .plist file is recommended. Even more when the .plist file is like the one for the Dock. I've seen issues in the past when trying this.

Regarding dockutil, it's another possible solution. I would need to check whether it works more reliably than emmet.

Command "defaults" convert plist into binary form by default (in this case it may be doesn't matter). Generally is recommended use "plutil" instead of "defaults".
