I am trying to create a simple Automator which quits Nextcloud / Pauses for 10 seconds / Opens Nextcloud. (This allows me to eject a drive that the Nextcloud client is using).
However, this automation fails with "Quit Application was Stopped"
See attached screenshot.
Thank you!

Well, I’m on my third time re-entering this reply, so it’s going to be clipped. Ask NextCloud for a means to cleanly dismount remote storage. Quitting apps can cause corruptions, depending on the app state. This sequence asks to quit. Try disabling that, and forcing the exit. As a brute-force approach, invoke a zsh or bash shell script, and aim a kill with SIGHUP and see if that works, or then try kill with SIGTERM. Ah, good, it seems this posted, and Safari hasn’t crashed.
Quit and restart something else (some other local app, specifically started for this testing), and see if it’s the NextCloud app blocking the automation.
Good idea.
Yes it's only Nextcloud that has the problem.
Interesting is that Automator DOES successfully quit Nextcloud before it stops and doesn't move on to the next steps.
Any idea what I can do intead?
Okie dokes. Thanks for your help
