Thank you Gaffney and Jones for your input.

I may have to parse external program output I suppose. I was hoping there would be a more built in or Modular way to get it. Part of the problem is foo.pl can be run simultaneously by 2 different users so I'm not sure how I'd be able to make foo.pl tell which ps it belongs to.

I suppose I can use the process Id in $$ in the parseing of ps output.

I was hoping for a builtin variable or module that would tell me :)

Any other ways besides parsing external program output?

TIA
