Hey

#ps -ef | grep run.sh | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'

this returns the second field of the ps output. perhaps it's another field number.

Regards

'pidof' is your friend:

kill -TERM `pidof run.sh`

It will return a space-separated list of PID's that match the process name you give. It usually lives as a symbolic link as '/sbin/pidof'.
