Detecting whether an execution is running

I have my own OI. But, I need to also detect when an execution is running, particularly when it ends, from a completely separate application. I have looked into looking for UIMessages but my other application never detects them, perhaps because the OI is set to have polling off and the other application expects to poll UI messages, or perhaps the messages are already consumed by the OI. 

 

In any case, does anyone have any ideas how I might do this using the TestStand API?

Could you create a stationglobal that's monitored by the other application?  Maybe it's set to true in ProcessSetup and reset in ProcessCleanup.
