No way to tell if an application is running without

Howzabout a do shell script:

do shell script "ps -aux | grep FileMaker\\ Pro.app | grep -v grep"

This would not cause FMP to activate.

To kill it if it's running-

do shell script "killall \"FileMaker Pro\""

The System Events way is probably the best.
