Hi,

I would like to know it is a predefined variable.like Process ID because in one of our script is using this variable..

Anoop,

I am not sure about that I see nothing like fpid used for so.

It may be a variable or a 3rd party tool used.

Can you post the script

So that I can look

Anoop,

Its not a reserved id or created by any utilities or configurations that came with the OS.

Someone just wrote a script or as others have said, its a result of third paty software.

fpid is nothing to HP-UX as far as I know.

It means no more and no less than the script's author intended for it to mean. It's just a variable and your question has no meaning unless taken in context. You should be able to find a statement in your script like "fpid=xxxxxxxx" or "read fpid" and that will tell you exactly what fpid means.

HI Anoop,

"fpid" is nothing but a variable used in c&s programming. you can use your own variable depends upon your coding standards.

P.S Remember to assign points.

fpid is not a reserved world in Unix, so it's not aprt of OS environment variable.
