The setup is a bit of work, but this should be possible.

1. Create a global process with the appropriate regex to match this  
process you don't want to be running.
2. Set its fail severity to clear so that it won't generate an event  
when it is found to not be running.
3. Go to the device(s) that you want this functionality on and add the  
process on the OS tab.
4. Lock this process from update and deletion so the modeler doesn't  
remove it.
5. Click into the process and its template tab.
6. Create a local copy of the OSProcess template.
7. Set a maximum threshold of 0 on the count data point.
