Simple awk question

Here is an awk line I have in a bigger script that checks to see if nimsh process is running and does couple other things based on the output and runs on all servers.

Code:
ps -ef|grep -i nimsh|awk '{print $9}'    and I am expecting output to be "/usr/sbin/nimsh"

I find that on some servers because of discrepancy in the 5th field(may in some servers and timestamp in others) , my nimsh becomes 8th or 9th field.

How can i write a statement so that it yields /usr/sbin/nimsh on all servers?


server A:
Code:
root  7274540  6684890   0 14:35:25      -  0:00 /usr/sbin/nimsh -s

server B:
Code:
    root  8061204  4849926   0   May 31      -  0:00 /usr/sbin/nimsh -s

Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangFam(3pm)

NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam; $lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages' $code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa' @codes = all_langfam_codes(); @names = all_langfam_names(); DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5. Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used. SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module. For example, the two are equivalent: $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha'); $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA); The codesets currently supported are: alpha This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for Apache languages. This is the default code set. ROUTINES
