What command string will locate ONLY the PID of a process and ouput only the number of PID of the process?

Found this
ps -ef | sed -n '/aim.*\.sh/{/grep/!p;}' | awk '{print$2}' | xargs -i kill {}

from this post - realize it is killing the process - just remove the last pipe and xargs -i kill {} if you don't need to kill it. This is looking for a processes with aim.* in it.
