How do I test if app is running / file is open?

Greetings:

I'm trying to setup Filemaker Pro 8 with a keep alive in cron so if it's closed or crashes, it will startup again automatically. As it is a shared database, I want to see if I can also test to see that the file is open as well.

 The below is all I have right now with this script being called by cron every 5 minutes.  I notice that it still executes at the moment as fmp bounces every 5 minutes in the doc.  

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
open file "Macintosh HD:Users:jim:Documents:To Do List.fp7"
end tell
