Can PC detect active job?

[eric.delong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

     One of our FoxPro developers is rewriting part of our EDI system. 
     He needs a method to check if a process is active. He has requested 
     that this be an ODBC solution (no ADO). The only idea I've had that 
     seems plausible is a log file that stores job starting and ending 
     timestamps for the process he wants to monitor. Any other ideas?
     
     Please respond to the following address as I'm taking a few days 
     off for my wedding. All ideas are appreciated.
     
     TIA
