2. How can I send that application a quit message once I have discovered if it is running?

A little more difficult. There is an API for this in CoreProcesses, which is private. You could probably use GetPID() on the PSN and then call kill() (man 2 kill) with SIGQUIT or SIGKILL.

It would probably be politer to send a quit Apple Event, if the thing you are trying to cause to exit is an application. The signals should probably be reserved for non-application processes, and to force-quit applications that are not responding.
