Pray tell, how? I know about "sudo killall", but I've gotten the impression
that that's much rougher on the app than "tell app ... to quit" in
AppleScript. (Although no one's been able to confirm nor deny that...)
(NOTE: UNTESTED... test for yourself, at your own risk, after making a
backup... should be harmless, but I'm not taking any repsonsibility
for your data... that said, I'd do this myself if I were trying to do
the same thing)
sudo kill -QUIT `ps auxwwww|fgrep 'Microsoft Office 2004'|awk '{print $2}'`
should cause all related Office programs to quit
run
ps auxwwww|fgrep 'Microsoft Office 2004'
so see what processes it will match. Assuming you installed Office in
the default way, this should work.
Personally I'd just quit Entourage when you're not using it and then
not have to worry about it when backing up overnight with SuperDuper
