Scan ps(1) output. Then perform appropriate action based on that.

I use fvwm-devel (port), so my rest of the reply is based on that.
And i think that fvwm could be of help. The Big Idea is...
- Spawn FvwmCommand once from fvwm.
- Afterwords you can use FvwmCommand to fire fvwm related commands
from a shell script or console.
...For details, see...

...FVWM is highly configurable, so don't let the fvwm(1) man page
overwhelm you. If you encounter problems w/ fvwm, consult the
mailing lists...
