I have been doing some more research on this... And it seems as if the dock is an application. It lives in Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services/Dock and all of it's bundle info seem to point to it being an application. But this still leaves the problem of how to restart it (or send a quit event for it to restart).
Does anyone have any ideas?
