SYSTEM
Know if an application is still running
In my current INIT, I need to find out when another app has quit, but I can't depend on apple events being sent to give this information. Is there another way to do this? I tried patching ExitToShell but this doesn't always get called. Maybe someone knows of an OS routine that is the complement of InitZone--one that destroys the heap zone on quit.

I'd use the process manager and check the running processes every once in a while. See jonathan's
<ftp://ftp.stiinc.com/ftp/public/fb/Sample_Source/Friday.sit> Friday application.
Or use the Layer manager, with the proviso that it may break under a future OS. Code for the latter is on Jamin's site under "LayerManagerPackage", I know... sorry I don't have the URL handy!
