Automator Quit All Applications can't kill Terminal

This put the hammer to the terminal when I was running a background process.

killall Terminal

You would need to run the automater event to run a terminal command.

Here is an applescript to do the deed.

It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding 
log statements to your script to see what is going on.  Here is an example.

	For testing, run in the Script Editor.
	  1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log 
	      statement
	  2) Click on Run
	  
  For running shell commands see:

on run
	-- Write a message into the event log.
	log "  --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
	--  debug lines
	set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
	log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
	
	set toUnix to "killall Terminal"
	log "toUnix is " & toUnix
	try
		
		set fromUnix to do shell script toUnix
		log " fromUnix is" & fromUnix
		log "Goodbye Terminal"
	on error errMsg number n
		log "killall complaint is " & errMsg & " with number " & n
	end try
	
end run

Thanks for the checkmark.
