Quick AppleScript question:

Is there any way to determine whether a particular process is running? (Not frontmost, but just whether it's open).

The reason I ask is just because when I run a script I'm trying to do, I don't want the application I'm calling to open if it isn't already running.

Thanks!

Check out the Processes Suite on the System Events application (it's in /System/Library/CoreServices).
