Hi guys...

I wanna know if I can get the PID of the job I've just launch... I know I can do ps -ef | grep but the thing is that job can be launch many times by a users, and I wanna know exactly what job do what... I don't know if you see what I meen...

Thanks
Jonathan

Hi:

$$ is your shell.

$! is your last background process launched.

Hi Jonathan,

I think I understand your question. $! will give the pid of the last background process.

Using "lsof" on a pid, you can see what files it has open.
