[Gllug] Getting PIDs

[Brent Geach]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a nice way to get the PID of the parent of a
process. Im writing startup scripts for a load of java apps that will spawn a
load of children when run.

What Im using at the moment is which is a bit of an ugly hack.

pid=`ps auxwww |grep demo |grep -v initlog |grep -v bash | head -1 |awk
'{print$2}'`
echo 
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && shlock -p $pid -f /opt/dc/etc/dc.lock
;;

Brent
