    VBA Code to Monitor if a Program is Running

    I have a custom program that was built in python (lets call it RJTV.exe) that can be a little buggy. It runs in the background parsing csv's, but on occasion it will just crash or stop running for no apparent reason.

    I am looking for a program or running a VBA macro that can monitor if this program is running. If it stops, I'd like for it to alert me or create a log at least of when the program stopped. Bonus points if the log can print what time the program started and what time the program crashed.

    I assume I'd have to tap into the task manager, but I'm not sure how I would go about doing this.

    Thanks!

    This code kind of works, but I'd like for it to continuously loop (without catching my computer on fire from all the iterations) and give a time stamp for when it crashes.
