Logout w/o alert panel

[ttakeo at amtec.co.jp (tetuya takeo)]

Dear list,

I manage to solve this problem by using AppleEvent, not by  
AppleScript.
After killing Terminals by kill signal then sending kAEQuitApplication  
event to Finder, at last sending kAEQuitAll event to loginwindow makes  
logout without alert panel gracefully.

I feel AppleEvent is simple and mighty (may causing security hole B-).

some background task monitors user's session time, when it reaches  
end, the task should force user to logout. Is such a function  
possible?
