Cocoa Application expects a Quit AppleEvent, not a sigterm.
SIGTERM will kill the app and it will not have any chance to save the edited document. Try with TextEdit if you don't belive it ;-)


Actually no, since the default kill signal is TERM, apps will be allowed to prompt to save if necessary. This assumes the app is handling that signal properly. We could send KILL or ABRT and that would just end the processes w/o any save options.

A small app that utilized an NSTask object whose system command would be 'killall -u <your short username here> -m <regex>'.

And that would be a great way to lose data, if any of the applications getting killed had unsaved documents.
