Interesting, but what if the installer does a Quit-All before it runs? Does anyone have a hint on the best way to block that? I'm guessing it sends an Apple Event to Quit to every app, but maybe there's more.

It's safer to quit apps because some might be writing to files the installer needs to modify, or you might have open files in general.
Also I just don't get what's the big deal about rebooting. It's a computer, not an uptime contest. People don't leave their TV or stereo on when they aren't using it, and unless your computer is a file server, there's no point in leaving it on. The 40 seconds my G4 takes to boot is not a big deal.

Actually, shutting down all programs may have been a good thing to do with OS 9, however it's not even necessary with OS X. The only exception would be if you are upgrading an app that is already running, you would quit that particular application, not all apps. Unless the installer is updating frameworks or shared libraries, there are no conflicts. |
