Application Services

Usage Notes for Application Services

App Killer will quit any application you choose. I have this bound to a key combination, and find that I use it saves me from having to "activate" applications that are not in focus just so I can quit them. There is a slight issue with apps that run multiple similarly-named processes (like Google Chrome) but otherwise, it is effective.

App Launcher is a silly application launcher that was written more as proof-of-concept than an actual utility (since you can use spotlight or any of the million full-featured application launchers that exist), but I had fun writing it and it spawned the App Killer script. Side Note: App Launcher Will also quit applications if you add kill before the application name (e.g. kill TextEdit).

App Shutdown Provides a timer with which you can shutdown applications (obvs), just in case you get annoyed at yourself for never remembering to close iTunes (or whatever the case may be).

App Watcher is a script that allows you to set an application to watch, wait for that application to launch, and then open a file or another application. This could be a little more robust, but it is another proof-of-concept type script that I wrote for fun.
