Look at the "celua.txt" file in the CE directory for CE Lua function. Basically check if the process is running, if not run the exe file after prompting the user and checking if they say yes or no.

Code:

if not getProcessIDFromProcessName('processname') then
  local r=messageDialog("application is not running. Start it?", mtInformation, mbYes, mbNo)

  if r==mrYes then
    print("Doing stuff to launch the application")

    --wait till the application is fully loaded as many people make the mistake of attaching while it's still loading
  end
end
