There are many ways. The Apple event way, the PSN way and the System Exec way.

The latest one it probably the simplest and faster:

 

to get all your processes in the format PID TTY  TIME CMD

 

   ps -xc

 

 
Get the PID of your process (first number in the line)
 
Then do a
 
     kill -9 PID
 
This will terminate your application abruptly!
 
----
 
You can also send a quit event to the selected application, do it using "vi.lib:Platform:AppleEvents.llb:AESend Quit Application"
You'll need the application ID using "vi.lib:Platform:Targeting.llb:Get Target ID"
