How can I invoke/simulate process/daemon crash on OSX and as result to receive crash report in

/Library/Logs/DiagnosticRepors

(e.g. opendirectoryd_2013-06-11-125032_macmini61.crash)?

I tried to make force quit for daemons using Activity Monitor but didn't receive any report. I need to crash some system or third party process (NOT developed by myself).

Unless you can find a legitimate bug and get it to crash that way, you can't externally crash a daemon in such a fashion that it will result in a diagnostic report. All of the quit-forcing functions are exempt from diagnostic reports as they are external issues.
