What do you mean by "all running applications"? There are GUI
applications, background daemons owned by the user, applications of
other users, system processes, etc.
Also, what do you mean by "quit"? Do you want to force quit them, or
tell them to gracefully quit? (During the shutdown process,
applications have the opportunity to cancel the event). And depending
on the type of application, the preferred way of getting them to quit
changes.
What are you trying to achieve here?
I would suggest reading Apple's documentation of the shutdown process at:
<http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Articles/BootProcess.html>
