how do I stop automator
Is there any shortcut or way to set up a shortcut to stop automator? If so it would help a lot.
And for me command (.) doesn't work.

Only if Automator is still running, there will be a spinning gear in your menu extras section of the Finder menu bar. Click that spinning gear and if I recall correctly, you may be able to quit Automator there.
If you are sitting in front of Automator and clicked the Run ▷ button, there will also be a Stop ▢ box there. If you click that Stop box one or more times and the Automator ignores you, press the option-key when clicking the Automator icon in the Dock and select Force Quit.
A last resort is to launch Terminal, enter this command, and a return to kill off Automator:
pkill -SIGKILL -a -x Automator
