What's the mechanism behind the "Relaunch" button in the  "Force Quit" dialog?   Any way to hook into that from a script?

I don't know if there's a specific event. I've been using 'quit' and 'activate' for years.

ignoring application responses
tell application "Finder" to quit
end ignoring

repeat
tell application "System Events"
if (name of every application process does not contain "Finder") then
exit repeat
end if
end tell
end repeat

tell application "Finder" to activate
