I just tried the same thing a few hours ago... did your method really
do it gracefully, prompting each app to quit separately? I tried
sending a quit apple event to loginwindow (osascript -e 'tell
application "loginwindow" to quit') and it quit everything but did not
log me out, and eventually the Finder relaunched. Weird.
