The term all tasks, to my mind, would be all applications with open windows so a shut-all command would close the all open windows. Some applications have additional background services so just closing the window remotely, probably wouldn't free up a noticeable amount of resources.

One way this might work would be to run as a daemon. It would be able to detect when the system has fully booted so it can recognise the baseline state. As each application, and its supporting services, initialises these would be logged so when shut-all is actioed it wouldn't kill off core system services.
...thinking aloud

Plus leave the RAM management to the kernel. He knows it better than you.
Yes.
