C++ check if a process exists

[Red Squirrel]

Using standard C++ what would be the function to check if a windows process exists? I want to write a program that periodically checks if an application is running. I don't want any .net stuff or whatever, since I'm using Dev C++ so want some somewhat standard code to work with. A function that works in Linux AND windows would be a bonus, but for now I only need it for Windows.

Thanks in advance.

In Win32 you'd use ToolHelp and/or PSAPI functions. Search on ToolHelp at www.codeproject.com for code.
