bash script parameter passing into command 2

[rigstars2]

I'm calling my script like this: ./processName wws2

below is my syntax, how can I use the argument I'm passing to this command below..doesn't seem to like it being passed in as a parameter? There is a syntax error? Please assist. Thanks!

VAR=`ps -ef | grep apdel | awk '/$1/ {print $10}' | cut -d\/ -f5`

echo $VAR

[tt]VAR=`ps -ef | grep apdel | awk [!]"[/!]/$1/[!]"'[/!]{print $10}' | cut -d\/ -f5`[/tt]

Hope This Helps, PH.
