how to exclude the GREP command from GREP
I am doing "ps -f" to see my process.
but I get lines that one of it represents the ps command itself.
I want to grep it out using -v flag, but than I get another process that belongs to the GREP itself :
I would like to exclude
[root@localhost ~]# ps -f
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 15794 15792 0 13:48 pts/2 00:00:00 -bash
root 16157 15794 0 14:01 pts/2 00:00:00 ps -f
[root@localhost ~]# ps -f | grep -v ps
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
root 15794 15792 0 13:48 pts/2 00:00:00 -bash
root 16160 15794 0 14:02 pts/2 00:00:00 -bash
while all I want is to get my pid line only.
or maybe you know another command that returns my pid and ppid only ?
thanks

pts_quit
PTS_QUIT(1) AFS Command Reference PTS_QUIT(1)
NAME
pts_quit - Exit from pts interactive mode
SYNOPSIS
pts quit [-cell] <cell name> [-noauth] [-localauth]
[-force]
pts q [-c] <cell name> [-n] [-l] [-f]
DESCRIPTION
The pts quit command exits from pts interactive mode. The command can be run from the command line or interactively, but on the command
line it does nothing and is therefore of questionable utility.
CAUTIONS
Prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the pts quit command was only available on Unix or Linux and when OpenAFS was compiled with the
supergroups option (disabled by default). As of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and 1.5.23, it is always available.
OPTIONS
Although they have no effect, pts quit takes the following standard pts options:
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).
-force
Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the
first error.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or
-noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1).
OUTPUT
This command produces no output.
EXAMPLES
Here is an example of a pts interactive session:
% pts interactive
pts> quit
%
