It would be very useful to be able to watch for a particular program to
quit. For instance, many video converting frontends don't actually tell you
when Transcode or MEncoder has quit, leaving you guessing as to whether
everything is going smoothly or whether your transcoding is complete. I'm
sure that there are even better uses for this too, and I also think it
would be just one step away from being able to watch for when a program
opens too.

Hello! It is an interesting idea, thank you for filing it in this issue tracker 
:) it
*might* be possible to implement somewhat easily, but it's just a wild guess. I 
guess
we could simply watch for the process' name and look if it's present in the 
process
tree or something like that... unless there's a cleaner way to do it.

Maybe someone will want to implement it sometime soon, personally I'm currently
focused on school and other specto tasks.

3rdalbum, it seems to currently work quite well in specto SVN. Could you give 
us some
feedback?

Sorry about the lateness of my reply. I have checked out the SVN version and it 
works
very well. Specto notifies me of when I have closed Firefox, and when I have 
started
it again. No false positives, nor false negatives. Good work, and I'll be using
Specto from now on!
