Possibilities: If your shell is bash, and if you're launching the jvm
as background process, see if you can use $! to retrieve the PID of the most
recently launched background process.
See if your 'ps' has a -f option that lists the parameters to the processes.
This parameter list can then be grepped for the name of your jar file.
Investigate your API to see if the toolkit can return the PID of the jvm
anywhere. I don't know if there is one. If not, a JNI method may be
useful here. Once your code knows its PID, write it to a file.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
