How to force open apps to close on auto logoff?

Can anyone help me? Several family members use my iMac under a single profile, the ADMIN profile (I know - misteak!). Well, now I want change this. I plan to create an account for each user. Then, because everyone is used to leaving apps open and walking away from the computer, I want to make the computer automatically logout after a period of inactivity. Unfortunately, since users leave apps open, I want the computer to automatically close any open apps at the time of the auto logout. The problem I'm trying to resolve is that the auto logoff gets inturrupted if a user leaves an app open. They are then asked if they want to save their work, then someone else comes along and starts using the computer. I just want the computer to logoff regardless of any open apps and I don't care if any data may be lost. Any ideas on how to do this automatically? Thanks...

When I do that mine wiggle but there no "x" like there used to be.

HT5137 Forcing an app to close after installing IOS7

I just used the procedure outlined in Support regarding how to force an app to close and I am still having issues. My issue is that after installing IOS7 I can not close apps, whether single or multiples, as before installing IOS7. Anyone else having this issue?

Are you doubleclicking the home button to bring up the app controls, scrolling over to the open app, then swiping up on the app to close it?

2G ipod, OS up to date, but now when I open apps, the close unexpectantly. Any ideas at to why?

The following are some of the apps that close on me:
Facebook,
App store
Craigsphone
any others....

Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Some users have said the downloading/installing an app resolves the problem. If the reset does not work that that with a free app.

How to closed open app in 3G (don't have multitasking display like in 3GS and 4G)?

Since 3G has slower CPU and smaller RAM compare to 3GS and 4G, then I think it should be useful if we could completely shut down app when we stop using it.

When the RAM gets used up, the iPhone will shut down apps all by itself, you needn't do anything. Of course, that doesn't always mean it works perfectly. The only way to close apps is to turn the phone off and back on again, which may be overkill most of the time, but I found necessary when I had a satnav app running, slowing everything else to a crawl.

Safari closes windows, opens App Store promoting some free game or just crashes. Virus?

My iPad air is barely a month old and I'm having issues with Safari closing, crashing or closing the tab that I am reading and opening the App Store as if I'd selected to download a free game. At first I thought this last issue was that I was touching adverts while navigating, but no, it appears to choose to do it all by itself. Is this a virus issue? I have cleared history, caches and cookies. Is there a way to reformat the iPad? Thanks in advance!
