End User prompts for updates

Jamf App installers will update any application that is not currently in use. If the application is in use when an update becomes available they will be prompted via a macOS notification coming from the Jamf Self Service application. (Example shown below)

A user will be given 4 days to close the application for the update to take place. At the end of 4 days of prompts there is an additional 90 minute grace period before the application will self restart to allow the update.
