Re: script needed to force shutdown w/o any prompts/interference

I use this to quit all of my (visible) applications quickly (asking about unsaved documents). Maybe this'll give you a start?

The two properties are: whether or not to include invisible (background) applications in the quitting process, and whether or not to ask/always/never save unsaved documents in an application being quit (note that the quitting shall continue none-the-less... ;-)

---

property quit_only_visibles : true

property save_ask_yes_no : ask

tell application "System Events"

set this_applet_name to (name of the first process whose frontmost is true)

set running_applications to (name of processes whose visible is quit_only_visibles)

end tell

repeat with counter from 1 to (count of running_applications)

if ((item counter of running_applications) is not this_applet_name) then

try

with timeout of 1 second

quit application (item counter of running_applications) saving save_ask_yes_no

end timeout

end try

end if

end repeat
