Writing a separate service seems quite an overkill.
You can first obtain a Process object – say by Process.GetProcessesByName, or better – use the ProcessID of the process you wish to monitor, if you have it. You can then try obtaining a WaitHandle from it, as discussed e.g. here, then call WaitOne on it (or WaitAll, if you’re monitoring several instances).
