The PID of the (last) background command can be written to a logfile, for example
Code:
echo $! >>logfile

This is a show stopper and only if I could get a feasible solution.

1. if the PID goes to startserver.sh instead of nohup.out ... that's is fine but why no logging in the nohup.out ?? We need logging to the nohup.out irrespective of whether it is the startserver.sh or the nohup.out that gets the PID.

2. We need to get the pid of the process inorder to kill it automatically thus we cannot enforce everyone starting our servers to echo $! >>logfile

They may start as they like. Hence fuser of the file name was a feasible option to get the pid and kill it using automation.
