If your goal is to simulate shutdown/restart termination, this won't
work; the system does not send signals to your app to kill it during
those situations.
Shutdown/restart termination is exactly equivalent to an AppleScript which does:
tell application "YourApp" to quit
If your app doesn't support that, then it won't support
shutdown/restart termination either.
