The only question is whether the process is still running. The chance that it is not is very low. Also, there is a race condition: the process may exit just after we check it. So, not sure it is even worth doing the check. Finally, the standard way to check for the process is `kill -0 $pid`". See `waitForProcessEnd()`.
