Observing all the undoable items.CS3 Mac

Question

How can I observe all the undoable actions in InDesign CS3 Mac ? Is there any simple way of achieving this. I looked at the sample code for gotolasttextedit but that has text and story tracking capabilities, how can I hook into all the commands that happening and and are undoable ?
Any ideas how to proceed. What else can be helpful ?
thanks

Answer 1

tell application "System Events"
          set appList to every process whose visible is true
end tell
the 'visible is true' part is necessary, otherwise it will report system and background apps that you probably don't want to quit.  If you want to quit the apps as well, the following will get the job done most of the time:
tell application "System Events"
          set appList to every process whose visible is true
          repeat with thisApp in appList
                    try
  -- attempt to quit saving open files
                              tell thisApp to quit saving yes
                    on error
                              try
  -- app may not be document based, so attempt a simple quit
                                        tell thisApp to quit
                              on error
  -- weird app that doesn't seem to respond properly to apple events
                                        do shell script "killall " & name of thisApp
                              end try
                    end try
          end repeat
end tell
