You can set the delay and maximum number of attempts.
I see the setting for delay (ThrottleInterval) but I can't find
anything about a max number of attempts in the man page for
launchd.plist.

I suppose something like 'ps -Ac | grep interestingprogram'?
I'm not sure, but have you checked with `launchctl list` to see if
its output is useful?
Could use launchctl list but that would only tell if it was launched
under launchd. I might as well warn regardless of the way it was
started.
