Getting process ID in a shell script.

Hi all,

In my script i need to store the process ID of my app server in a variable. I know how to verify whether a process is running, by following:

Code:

 
ps -ef|grep 'jboss'
status=$?
 
if [ "$status" = 0] ; then
   # process is running
else
   # process is nor running
fi

But what I need here to get the process ID of jboss, if its running.

Can someone please advise, how can I get the process ID?

Thanks in advance.
