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.
Why isn't the nicer CPS API public, though? :-)
