There is no set of keyboard commands I am aware short of also logging off or shutting down after the command is issued. Here are two freeware apps that will do it: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/closeallopenapplications.html http://www.mp3-converter.biz/force-quit-all-applications-mac.html

How do you want to pick which apps get the ax? If it differs each time, it's probably just as easy to quit them from the Dock popup menu. If it's a pre-determined list, script it. If it happens to be *all* the running apps, it's probably just easiest to log out. -- My personal UDP list: 127.0.0.1, localhost, googlegroups.com, ono.com, and probably your server, too.

So your answer should have been, "No". You don't need to be a programmer to write a little script. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Or, if you want to be really fancy, and choose specifically which applications you want to quit: -- begin script tell application "System Events" set appList to the name of every application process whose background only is false end tell choose from list appList with title "Quit Applications" with prompt "Quit these applications:" OK button name "Quit Selected" with multiple selections allowed repeat with nextApp in the result tell application nextApp to quit end repeat -- end script -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
