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 memory /
processor intensive app. I could just quit each one individually but
I guess I'm lazy!
I'm not suggesting anything more sinister!
Thanks to you & everyone for the advice.

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.
You could get the launched applications by using [[NSWorkspace
sharedWorkspace] launchedApplications] and then send each of them a
Quit Apple Event.
But why would you want to do this? It is possibly one of the most
annoying things you could do to someone's machine and you would want
to have a very, very good reason for it.
