Ok after all i got my pid with: PID=$!
Thank you Smilie

---------- Post updated at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous update was at 12:55 PM ----------

I have another question ( not sure if i had to make a new thread)

Now that i have the PID i want to retrieve information about my process, using the command 'top'.

So far i have
top -b -d 1.0 -p $PID
which returns information while my process is running. When the process stops , top is still running. How can i stop it and proceed with my shell?
