Not like disabling all the dock menu,  the requirement of the
application is only removing the quit item.
I don't know how to do it. Would any one be  so kind as to give me some
advices and a simple example ?

...you shouldn't do that. You'll have your app's icon sitting in the dock without a way to remove it. Unless you're in business for nagware, adware and spyware, that's hardly desirable. Instead, you may want to split your app in two parts: A daemon, which is a constantly running background app (see the NSUIElement and NSBackgroundOnly flags for your Info.plist), and a GUI app which the user can launch to manage the app.

It's especially popular to make the GUI app a SystemPreferences.app .prefPane, because that's where most other system daemons (like httpd, aka Apache) are launched and quit.

Asking twice won't help.

Why, exactly, do you need to do this anyway?
