Well, until this message, there's not been any documentation on a better

Really? I thought this post summed it up nicely:

<http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-users/2003/Apr/ msg00428.html>


It wasn't clear to me that it would bypass all the "blah application killed

And, as I stated previously, it won't. As far as I'm aware, there's no (approved) way to force an immediate logout no matter what the user thinks of it.
