OS X alias in the Dock

I am trying to write a script in 1.7 that will create an alias of an application and place it in the Dock in OS 10.1.3. I have a large group of users that need this app and I am trying to simplify the process for them. Thanks

right now yu cant do that to the dock.
there is a way to alter the dock.plist to have the alias added but you have to do a slew of terminal shell commands and authentication.
there is an enhancment request for this
