Thank you all for your immediate reply, I knew it was a simple question, so dumb of me! Answer is echo $$ and in my case it's echo $$ > myfile.pid Thank you again! -----Original Message----- From: Jim Southerd Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 10:00 AM To: Sunmanagers (E-mail) Subject: Need to capture PID in a script Sorry to ask such a simple question, but for the life of me, I cannot come up with the answer. I'm trying add a routine to a script to write out to a file it's PID. I need to have a record of the PID of the script while it was running. You see this script is ran by cron, and it runs so quick, I cannot catch it and it's causing some conflict with another manually run script, when they 'bump' into each other. Sun, Solaris 7 Thanks in advance for any pointers!
