If you want the PID of the current shell process, use $$ instead.
Here's the error I get when logging into a virtual terminal and
$HOME/.bash_profile executes or is read in:
ionice: ioprio_set failed: No such process
Perhaps pidof fails to find the -bash process due to the leading dash?
Who knows? Who cares? Use $$ to get the PID of the shell.
The following works like a charm:
# See ionice manfile - give high priority to Bash
ionice -c 2 -n 0 -p `echo $$`
Why are you using echo?
ionice -c 2 -n 0 -p $$
