You'll want to send one to the app you want to quit. It provides the option for the user to save unsaved changes. -- Sean McBride, B.

Termination Running Applications ...
Hi, Is it possible to terminate other running applications (not my own) from within my application ? I'm currently working on a project where one of it's features is to display a lift of running applications. This information is sourced from NSWorkspace. However, I'd also like to give the user the option to close any of these applications without having to leave mine. Is this at all possible ?
