Capture PID on HP-UX
- Thread starter newDBA
- Start date
yes, if you launch a process to run in the background you can get at the PID of that process.
Using the korn shell (ksh) do this:
[tt]
java_process &
JAVA_PID=$!
print $JAVA_PID > /tmp/pid_of_java_process.tmp
wait
[/tt]
This stores the PID of the java process in the file /tmp/pid_of_java_process.tmp and then waits for the java process to finish as if you'd just called it normally in the script.
If you don't need to wait for the java process to finish - don't call wait. Mike

Is that a haiku?
I never could get the hang
of writing those things.
