the only way you can do it is with ps or send a mail to a unix group for better ideas
I always do this
chomp($PID = `ps -ax |grep -v grep |grep $PROCESS | awk '{print $1}'`);

OR
#!usr/bin/perl -wT
use strict;
use English;
print "$PID"; # or $PROCESS_ID. English.Pm simply changes a system variable into an english word..

I am familiar with ps, this is how I am currently getting the process ID:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $pid = `ps -axo pid,ucomm |grep proxyd|cut -f 1 -d \"p\"`;
But I was wondering if anyone new another means of doing so.
Thanks.
