Detecting when application launch has completed (OS X)

Is there a generalised way to detect if an application has finished
launching (ie, nothing else is going to happen without user input)?

I'd like to launch several applications in sequence, without the launches
overlapping. So far, the best I've been able to manage is putting a 'lowest
common denominator' delay into the loop (the list of apps varies).
Everything else I've tried results in the dock looking like a kids
trampoline party.

What would be ideal is something like:

repeat until starting up of process myApp is false
[brief delay]
end repeat


Is there anything similar that might work?
