For background C applications, there is no "easy" way to know. You can technically issue the "top" command to the system shell:

 

system "top"

 

and then parse the response to see if your program is listed (e.g. capp1.out). Top is a Linux command that shows running processes:

There might be a cuter Linux command out there, but I am not an expert on it.

 

It is much easier, though, to put a global variable that increments as the program runs, for example, and then just check if that variable is incrementing to verify that the program is running.
