[ale] pidof command, how to get shell script running pid

[James Sumners]

Here is my `p.sh`

==================
#!/bin/bash
while [ 0 -eq 0 ]; do
    continue
done
==================

Now, after executing `p.sh` I can do `ps -eo pid,comm | grep p.sh |
sed -e "s/^\s//" | cut -d" " -f1` to get the pid of the process.
