[Lazarus] Detecting when decompiler is running

Hi All, I was wondering if there was a way where an application, written in Lazarus, could detect when a compiler is running, perhaps by it's mutex? My idea was, in my application, I could periodically check to see if a decompiler was running and then my app could perform an operation, such as
