What is the mechanism used by NSWorkspace exactly ?

I'm not sure what more you want than what I wrote in my previous email:

...

AppKit sends [NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification]in response to a 'quit' Apple event that has the 'why?' attribute, implying that the app is being quit by loginwindow in preparation for restart or shutdown.

What is the proper answer to the original question, ie getting the shutdown event in a global context daemon ?

I don't have a good answer.
