Using an AppleEvent given the appropriate bundle id of the application is
actually pretty easy.I have found this in one my quite old project:
+ (OSStatus)quitApplicationWithBundleID:(NSString *)aBundleID {
OSStatus err;
AppleEvent event, reply;
const char *bundleIDString;
bundleIDCString = [aBundleID UTF8String];
err = AEBuildAppleEvent(kCoreEventClass, kAEQuitApplication,
typeApplicationBundleID,
bundleIDCString, strlen(bundleIDCString),
kAutoGenerateReturnID,
kAnyTransactionID, &event, NULL, "");
if (err == noErr) {
err = AESendMessage(&event, &reply, kAENoReply, kAEDefaultTimeout);
AEDisposeDesc(&event);
}
return err;
}
Haven't tested with Leopard yet, but I'm sure it works there.
