come up with is discussions of how to make a script quit apps and
force a logout.
What I'm trying to do is make an applescript that I can place in a
user's login items. What I'd like that script to do is:
1. Launch an application in the user's home area
2. Wait for that application to quit and when it does
3. Log the user out
Is that possible? If so, does anybody have anything they could share?
Easy! (I said to myself.) But it wasn't long before I found that all my ideas for logging out failed. Finally, I tried this ...
tell application "System Events" log out keystroke return end tell
It worked! But, you wanted more, which I don't know just now. You probably want to put the snippet above in an 'on quit' handler. If I discover more, I'll pass it along.
