Sometimes for one reason or another application won't quit in AppleScript, i.e.

View Codetell application "Safari" to quit

If your script depends on quitting application -- there is a simple way of making sure application quits.
It could be any application instead of "Safari".
Shell comes to the rescue:

View Codeset quitResult to do shell script "ps axjww"
if quitResult contains "Applications/Safari" then
do shell script "killall Safari"
delay 2
end if

This way application process will be killed by underlying UnixThere's no place like ~
