The variable appClosed is being set to 1 if a blocking process is found, but before any processes are actually closed. This has unintended behavior in the case where BLOCKING_PROCESS_ACTION is silent_fail since nothing is actually closed in this case statement, only the cleanupAndExit function is called.

This function calls reopenClosedProcess which checks whether appClosed is set and tries to reopen the app if so. Because the app was already open (which is why we entered this case statement in the first place) and the variable was set prematurely, all this does is instead pop the app into focus on the user's screen, interrupting whatever it was they were doing.

This was noticed due to any app that we attempted to update with this method popping into focus one or more times a day.

I added an additional function to set this value in cases where Apple Script is being used to try and closed the app, so that this variable gets set correctly in each case. I also set the variable for the case where instead of Apple Script, the pkill command is used.
