I rather think you are asking the wrong question. You probably want to get
the freeware Okey Dokey Pro, which will dismiss those dialogs (and save a
screen shot of them). No server should be without it, IMHO.

That said, the direct answer to your question may be to use the Die osax.
It's brutal, I'm told. Always follow its use with a system restart.

You do have some sort of crash detection on your server, I hope.

Also, there is a bug in Applescript 1.6 (one upgrade beyond MacOS 9.1) which
Chris Nebel has identified and which should be fixed in MacOS 9.2, which will
cause Applescript CGIs to fail to execute if the CGI is not already running.
Could this be the problem?
