Reno, Thanks for your reply. I started the whole exercise from the same link. The startTask APIs do not mention about the outputproperty. Hence I had not tried. Now after your reply I have tried using this attribute for the start task. Yet I do not get the output message I expect "...already started". The link also lists the messages that can be possibly output from the start task and it does not include "...already started" as one of the messages.
Right now, I am using the outputmessage to check if the application name exists in it and has running: against it to see if it is already running. I think this is a work around. I am looking for a more straight forward solution to this.
