I can't eject an external hard disk drive, Hazel is using it

Hi,

I am having an issue using Hazel with external hard disk drives. Once Hazel is done doing what it's doing, I want to delete the folder and rules and eject the disk. But no, Hazel is still using it, and force ejecting a drive is never a good idea. So what do I do in this case?

Is there even a way to shut down Hazel completely, like a Force Quit?

I am using a Mac.

Next time it happens, try the following:

- Launch Activity Monitor. Find the process in question. Note its PID.
- Do "Sample Process" and email/post the output.
- In Hazel's "Info" section, click on "View Log"
- In the search field, enter "[XXXX]" where XXXX is the PID noted earlier. Email/post that output.
