I have an EXE monitor, that listens to the particular events and when specific event combination occurs, it should launch some Application.
However, after application is laucnhed and until it is closed by user I need the monitor to ignore events.

Is there a way to discover if the particular application is already running and to be notified when it is closed?

Code:
TInt CheckDuplicate(TDesC & name)
{
TFindProcess process;
TInt found=0;
TFullName repName;
while(process.Next(repName) != KErrNotFound)
{ if(repName.Find(name) != KErrNotFound)
{ found++;
}
}
return found;
}

Thank you, the solution was too obvious to find.. at least for me Smiley

What about the second question? Is there some way to be notified when particular application is closed? I wouldn't like to run the timer and periodically manually check if app is still running.
