Hi Lukas,

OK, I guess I was focusing too much on terminating the process rather
than checking for it. To check whether a process client was started
from QF-Test and whether it is still running, use the following
construct:

+ Try
  + Wait for process to terminate, timeout 0
  + ...You'll get here if the process was started and has terminated
  + Catch ProcessNotTerminatedException
    + ...You'll get here if the process was started and is still running
  + Catch NoSuchClientException
    + ...You'll get here if the process was never started

Hope that (finally) helps :-).

Best regards,
    Greg
