Hello,
We are attempting to use automactc through crowdstrike remotely and it works really well.
However we are running into a problem when automactc is attempting to parse the Chrome databases if the user has Chrome opened.
For the currently logged user we run into the following errors

functions[78819] - DEBUG - error accessing database /Users/currentlyloggeduser/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/History: database is locked
chrome[78819] - DEBUG - Visit History required table 'visits' not found
functions[78819] - DEBUG - error accessing database /Users/currentlyloggeduser/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/History: database is locked
chrome[78819] - DEBUG - Download History required table 'downloads' not found.

I assume it is because it is attempting to access those files directly for parsing. Would copying the history file temporarily, parsing the copied file and removing it after help fix that issue or there is another way?

Thanks,
