Is this possible?

I have setup perfmon to notify me via email when disk space is low or cpu is high.

I can setup perfmon to notify me using the
"Alert when the value is" Under <number> rule to tell me when a process has been recently started using the Process(instance.exe)\Elapsed Time counter.

But when the process stops (or crashes), the value given by Performance Monitor is " " (space?) which i cannot write criteria for.

Anyone know how to monitor a process using perfmon?
Obviously I could write a script but perfmon is great and it would be so useful and easy to use it for this.
