How to get the parent PID only in Solaris?
Hi,

I am using this command fuser_result=`fuser -f /web/$1/admin-*/logs/access` to get the parent pid of the process.

However, The output differs and at times it shows two pids instead of one thus failing the logic of my script. See output below:
Code:
bash-3.2$ fuser -f /web/prod/admin-server/logs/access
/web/prod/admin-server/logs/access:    17011o
bash-3.2$ fuser -f /web/prod/admin-server/logs/access
/web/prod/webserver7/admin-server/logs/access:    22852o   17011o
bash-3.2$ fuser -f /web/prod/admin-server/logs/access
/web/prod/admin-server/logs/access:    17011o

What would be the best way to get only the parent PID of a iPlanet webserver instance ?

In this case 17011 is the parent PID. Will the parent PID always show as the last entry of the output ? If not, then I am clueless. If yes, then I can use awk and get the last column of the output which happens to be 17011.
Code:
bash-3.2$ uname -a
SunOS mymac 5.10 Generic_150400-61 sun4v sparc sun4v
