It needs to force quit instantly. I want to use the kill all shell script,
but I'm not sure how to address the applet.

I think I would try something like this. After you build your script app. call it "whatever.app", then create another script app to launch "whatever.app" with a do shell script, grab the PID number and kill it when you need to.
not quite real code for a calling/killing script app
do shell script "open -a whatever.app >/dev/null 2>&1 & echo $!" set pid to result display dialog "Kill whatever.app." buttons {"Kill"} default button 1 do shell script "kill " & pid |
