  Yes.. i thought like a daemon.. but yes, no problem to do it..

  #!/bin/bash

  IDP=0

  while (( IDP == 0 )); do
  
    IDP=$(pidof your_process)
    if (( $? == 1 )) ; then
       echo "End your_process with pid:$IDP" | mail -s "subject text" user
       IDP=1
    fi     
    sleep 1
  done

  exit 0
