Q: How do I force quit apps that prevent a timed shutdown?

I have a mac configured to shut down at the end of the working day. I almost always come in the next day to see that Skype has prevented shutdown. Skype is showing a prompt asking if I definitely want to sign out.

 

Is there a way to force quit any apps when doing a timed shutdown?

 

Thanks,

Ross

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
