Is there a simple way to quit all running applications?
Basically I want to achieve the same result as the first stage of
hitting 'shut down' (closing all applications) without actually
shutting down the system.
Thanks.

Take a look at the NSWorkspace
Yes I agree it could be most annoying in the majority of cases to quit
other people's apps!
All I'm trying to achieve is a tiny app that only quits open apps and
then quits itself; the purpose being when I want to release as much
memory and disc space as possible before I run another
A small app that utilized an NSTask object whose system command would be
'killall -u your short username here -m regex'.
Where the regex would probably exclude processes that did not include
'login' or anything 'launchd'. This would keep the reaper from killing
your loginwindow process as
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.

GUI applications do not generally handle SIGTERM (or any other signals
for that matter). Killing GUI applications is a Bad Thing™ :)
Randal is correct, this will lose your saved data in any currently
open applications.

Cocoa Application expects a Quit AppleEvent, not a sigterm.
SIGTERM will kill the app and it will not have any chance to save the

Now I'm interested into finding out why this isn't the case.
