while ($true) {
    # Check if the process is running
    $process = Get-Process -Name $processName -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

    if ($process) {
        # If the process is found, perform your action
        Write-Host "<PROCESS> process is running."
        
        # Perform your custom action here
        # Example: Write-Host "Performing action..."

    } else {
        # If the process is not found, output a message
        Write-Host "<PROCESS> process is not running."
