failed shutdowns

[Jason Davies]

Hi folks,

Something which seems to be a lot more common with Monteroy than before
is that my Mac (M1 Mac mini) is set to shutdown at midnight. I leave it
running in the evening to sync with various things.

But almost every day I come back and it's still saying 'App X
interrupted shutdown'. App X has apparently quit in the meantime, but
not quickly enough for the OS. Unless I quit everything manually (which
undermines making sure of the sync, it's not happening.

Any suggestions?

I could probably write an applescript that quit everything then waited
five minutes then hit shutdown but am hoping that before I rediscover
how awful I am at Applescript, there might be something simple I'm
missing;)

Cheers,

Jason
