The simplest thing which comes into my mind is (if the monitor is your own work) monitor an additional file, the "heartbeat file". - When the monitor application starts it generates the file and monitors its existence - When it ends, it deletes the file - If the monitor app recognizes that the file is deleted (by external programs) it stops
