What platform, linux or windows?
if windows xp you could do something like this:
system("tasklist.exe | find "name_of_executable" > result.txt",2)
then open and read result.txt to see the program name is there.
Or use win32 api call to enumerate active process.

on linux you could do something like this:
system("ps | grep name_of_executable > result.txt",2)
