Hazel to run app A conditional on another app B?

I want app A to only ever run if app B is running.

- If app B for some reason crashes, app A should quit instantly.

- If I try to open app A, but B is not open, it should either i) warn me ii) not allow me to open A, or iii) open app B instead first.

Out of i)-iii), I have no preference, so any option, if possible to implement, would be fine for me.

Is this possible with Hazel, and if so, could someone help out a complete noob?

That's not really what Hazel is meant for. Hazel operates on files, not on whether apps are running or not. Maybe look into something like Keyboard Maestro.
