Quit

Bash script to politely quit applications using Terminal.

QuitOverview

Quit is an executable bash script to make it quick and easy to politely quit applications from the command line.

This script takes one or more application names as arguments, and uses osascript to tell each one to quit. Unlike kill and killall, this allows applications to save files and perform any necessary operations before exiting.

NEW

  • Fixes a bug introduced in 1.9.1 where 'quit all' would only quit one app and then generate error messages for the rest
  • Better bulletproofing on some unfortunately necessary GUI scripting for users and/or apps that don't use OS X's built-in autosave
  • Better handling of apps with quirky implementations of the quit command in their AppleScript libraries (ahem, iTunes)
