Kill a backend process

Hello,

I am trying to kill a backend process i know i can type a simple command
kill -9 pid and my process will be killed.

But the task is that there are two commands in the script which run the backend process and when that script is runned then we cannot find the PID of the two commands

So how can we kill them ....i Tried using 2> such that output on screen goes to the file name mentioned but the may be i m using a wrong syntex....

tail -f inputfile >> o/pfile & 2> pid

where pid is the file where i want the pid of this command such that i can kill the same....

Pls suggest ....

Thanks in advance
Aparna
