Looking For Suggestions

[Yennie at aol.com]

There may be something more elegant, but how about a time-stamped file?
Could your app just stamp the current time into the file once per minute?
A second app could then check if the file is "alive" by checking the time 
contained within.

One other trick that might work: what if the main app opens up a socket or 
other means of IAC? Then the secondary app could attempt to "ping" it 
locally.
