Using an AppleEvent given the appropriate bundle id of the application is
actually pretty easy.I have found this in one my quite old project:

+ (OSStatus)quitApplicationWithBundleID:(NSString *)aBundleID {

  OSStatus err;

  AppleEvent event, reply;

  const char *bundleIDString;



  bundleIDCString = [aBundleID UTF8String];



  err = AEBuildAppleEvent(kCoreEventClass, kAEQuitApplication,
typeApplicationBundleID,

                          bundleIDCString, strlen(bundleIDCString),
kAutoGenerateReturnID,

                          kAnyTransactionID, &event, NULL, "");



  if (err == noErr) {

    err = AESendMessage(&event, &reply, kAENoReply, kAEDefaultTimeout);

    AEDisposeDesc(&event);

  }

  return err;

}


Haven't tested with Leopard yet, but I'm sure it works there.
