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\""

You really do not want to do that. It could result in the loss of all databases that where open when you killed FileMaker.

The System Events way is probably the best.
