I've tried unsuccessfully to build a stay open applet that checks every hour

...You might also want to go to a quit handler to do the shutting down. You
know the Finder always asks if you want to quit open apps, save documents,
etc?

Also, I think this will be necessary...

ignoring application responses
tell application "Finder"
shut down
end tell
end ignoring

...otherwise the Finder will wait to see if it has quit before shutting
down, and finding that it hasn't, won't.

I notice in Jaguar that there's a shutdown command in the System Events dictionary. I wonder if this provides benefits over using the Finder.
