Process id's in file names

Hello,

I am editing a script which has a .sh extension but is listed as #! /bin/ksh that has output files where process ID's are somehow getting tacked onto the end of the filename. The programmer codes these scripts as "/tmp/email_file$$" saying that he put the $$ in there to be able to handle the process ID that unix seems to want to give it. I have never see this or had problems with this in the past in my other job - is there a way to output these files so that the process ID isn't produced at the end of the file? Or do I have to put $$ at the end to accomodate it?

Thanks,
