If your goal is to simulate shutdown/restart termination, this won't work; the system does not send signals to your app to kill it during those situations. Shutdown/restart termination is exactly equivalent to an AppleScript which does: tell application "YourApp" to quit If your app doesn't support that, then it won't support shutdown/restart termination either.
