it displays PID value with PID of grep aaa.exe but I dont need PID value of grep aaa.exe and again When I stored it to a variable it stores all values ie PID,tty etc but I need only value to store in the variable without grep aaa.exe value ie only running aaa.exe value

Plz suggest

try:
Code:
ps -aef | grep -v grep | grep 'aaa.exe' | awk '{print $2}'

also check if the pgrep command is useful for you

You can try with this command

ps -ef | grep "/aaa.exe " | awk -F" " '{print $2}'
