Avoid FreeFileSync from being launch while it has previous popups openned

[sipriusPT]

For those familiered with FreeFileSync, know that there is another feature called RealTimeSync(RTS), who simply doesnt work at least in my MacOS, so I start making my own "RealTimeSync" but seems like I am not able to control FreeFileSync launchs when a popup is launched, after the sleep time it continues popuping up and doesnt wait for a click on this first popup. I have also tried to use my own warnings instead of FreeFileSync(FFS) popups but I cannot rely on that.

For default those batchs from FFS and RTS, I can only launch those directly with 'open' command, since both have extended attributes.

So do you have a way to show it one at a time?

This is the code that I am using right now, for testing:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47

import os import sys import subprocess import time   ####EDIT HERE#### ffs_batch_folder_path = '/Users/admin/Desktop/AOI-A/RTS_Config/' ffs_batch_file = 'BatchRun_aoi2.ffs_batch' nas_folder_path = 'Download' #################   sleep_period = 60 #in seconds first_launch_sleep_period = 30 #in seconds   def run_ffs_batch():     #give some time to connect remote folder where it will sync     time.sleep(first_launch_sleep_period)     #starts periodic function     while(1):         print ('%s' %output)         if os.path.exists('/Volumes/%s' %nas_folder_path):             if os.path.exists('%s' %ffs_batch_folder_path):                 if len(output)>400:                     print ('Connected from remote folder')                     try:                         #run batch file                         subprocess.check_output(['open', "%s" %ffs_batch_file], cwd=ffs_batch_folder_path)                     except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:                         print ('Unable to sync, check batch file name and location: \n%s' %e)                 else:                     break                     ap = """ display dialog "Remote folder not accessible, please contact your system administrator!" with title "Warning from Remote Folder!" with icon caution buttons {"OK"} """                     subprocess.call("osascript -e '{}'".format(ap),shell=True)                     print ('Remote folder not accessible!')             else:                 ap = """ display dialog "Localhost folder not accessible, please contact your system administrator!" with title "Warning from Localhost Folder!" with icon caution buttons {"OK"} """                 subprocess.call("osascript -e '{}'".format(ap),shell=True)                 print ('Localhost folder not accessible!')         else:             ap = """ display dialog "Remote folder not mounted, please contact your system administrator!" with title "Warning from Remote Folder!" with icon caution buttons {"OK"} """             subprocess.call("osascript -e '{}'".format(ap),shell=True)             print ('Remote folder not mounted!')         #sync period of time         time.sleep(sleep_period)    if __name__=="__main__":     run_ffs_batch()

I avoid those popups by removing those through FreeFileSync GUI, and also I made a search to see if FreeFileSync was still being used through PID to avoid this app to be openned again,while the other one was running, and creating a stack of FreeFileSync processes.
