Process - Alive or Dead

How can I find out if a process is dead or alive?Is there any way to directly see through Java, rather than call the commands?

I'm not ever a doctor, or at least I don't have a license to practice!

And I read somewhere that Pynchon took "Jamf" from the

Jazz musician Charlie Parker, who used it as an

abbreviation of Jive *** Mother ******.

Ha!
