I suggest having your InitFunction use an Exec followed by a one line
shell script which does the following:
- starts your application
- moitors whether the application is running the Unix ps and grep and/or
awk commands and the sleep command embedded in an infinite for loop
(man ps; man grep; man awk; man sleep; info bash)
- then use PipeRead to extract the Fvwm Quit command which will be output
by your script's last line echo Quit.
That should do it. What application is it you're trying to monitor and
why?

Neil
