I failed to mention that this script needs to be a stay open app. If not, as soon as the OS notices that 'Dock.app' isn't running it will relaunch the original Dock. The idle is set to an increment intended to reduce the app's load on the system.
The default ide-return value for a stay-open app is 1 second IIRC.

sorry, i did not read the beginning of the thread but i actually had to radically kill the dock yesterday and this worked:

in terminal:
a 'top' to find the dock pid
a 'grep' to get that number
a 'kill -9' that pid to kill the dock

et voila, le dock is dead !

now you only have to put that in an applescript :)
