Use the 'do shell script' command
do shell script kill -9 PID
That should work.
No, actually, don't do that.
We are discussing Cocoa programming here. Running an Applescript that
executes a shell script command that wraps a system call is an
incredibly inefficient approach to the problem. (The correct way to do
this would be using the kill() syscall... but keep reading.)
In any case, that's a terrible way to quit an application. If the
application has any files open, it'll quit without getting a chance to
save them properly - in particular, it won't prompt the user to save
changes, which is a really fast path to making the user angry at your
program.
