Why Terminal?
I'm a long time Mac user, and I do not understand this infatuation with Terminal. A few simple lines of AppleScript code will safely quit an application after a specified delay period. You can even tell the application to Save before quitting. A slightly more complex script could ask you which application you want to quit and at what time. There's no need to type arcane (and possibly dangerous) commands in Terminal.
Why Terminal?
Because once you have learned a little Unix, it is much more elegant and not as crash-prone as a GUI application. For admins: terminal commands can be implemented through ssh, that is remotely, even over a dialup connection while you are at the North Pole. And it does not require specific software to be installed. Speed: deleting or copying files is considerably faster on the command line than in the Finder, and so are other terminal commands with a GUI equivalent. |
