How to store pid of process in a variable and check its value?
Probably also already asked and answered a million times.
Here the million and first way (it really depends on your version of ps or Unix)
On Linux and Solaris we have pgrep
on HP-UX we would have to make ps behave in a different way by e.g.
etc., etc.
Testing if pid holds valid content is also heavily dependent on the used shell.
In a posix shell we could do (if we were process owner or root, or omit the kill)
question: for the below program
i just printed the value for pid, child pid and parent pid
why does it give me 6 values? i assume ppid is 28086
but can't figure out why there are 5 values printed instead of just two!
can someone comment on that!

1. If I use an software application(which connects to the database in the server) in my local pc, how many PID should be registered? Would there be PID for the session and another PID for socket connection?

kill
KILL(1) BSD General Commands Manual KILL(1)NAME
kill -- terminate or signal a process
SYNOPSIS
kill [-s signal_name] pid ...
kill -l [exit_status]
kill -signal_name pid ...
kill -signal_number pid ...
DESCRIPTION
The kill utility sends a signal to the process(es) specified by the pid operand(s).
Only the super-user may send signals to other users' processes.
The options are as follows:
-s signal_name
A symbolic signal name specifying the signal to be sent instead of the default TERM.
-l [exit_status]
Display the name of the signal corresponding to exit_status. exit_status may be the exit status of a command killed by a signal (see
the special sh(1) parameter '?') or a signal number.
If no operand is given, display the names of all the signals.
-signal_name
A symbolic signal name specifying the signal to be sent instead of the default TERM.
-signal_number
A non-negative decimal integer, specifying the signal to be sent instead of the default TERM.
The following pids have special meanings:
-1 If superuser, broadcast the signal to all processes; otherwise broadcast to all processes belonging to the user.
0 Broadcast the signal to all processes in the current process group belonging to the user.
Some of the more commonly used signals:
1 HUP (hang up)
2 INT (interrupt)
3 QUIT (quit)
6 ABRT (abort)
9 KILL (non-catchable, non-ignorable kill)
14 ALRM (alarm clock)
15 TERM (software termination signal)
kill is a built-in to csh(1); it allows job specifiers of the form ``%...'' as arguments so process id's are not as often used as kill argu-
ments. See csh(1) for details.
SEE ALSO csh(1), pgrep(1), pkill(1), ps(1), kill(2), sigaction(2), signal(7)STANDARDS
The kill function is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.

A kill command appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
