That depends on whether A is being shut down gracefully or unexpectedly.

If gracefully, then A can simply notify B to shut itself down.  How you do
that depends on what B actually is.

If unexpectedly, then the only way I can think of right now is to have A
pass its process ID as a command line parameter when launching B, and then
have B periodically check if that ID is still running.
