Ashok, Thanks for the info. I had tried that but what I got was a list of processes like so. 1272 5785 5791 Problem is that I need to associated the pid to individual process (gotten from Runtime.getRuntime().exec("gksu rfcomm connect 0 0B:D4:91:39:66:01");) in the java app. Now since I am using Threading ie. the Runtime.getRuntime().exec(" gksu rfcomm connect 0 0B:D4:91:39:66:01"); is being called within a thread many times for the different array of devices that I have set on my machine I have to make sure I do not kill a process that has not completed its task. Its not possible to determine the execution order of threads so I need the calling thread to retrieve its own pid assicaited with invoked runtime process. I think I might just use some shell scripts and call them from within java then try retrieve the shell scripts from with the java code.

They are not matching because the jvm invokes its own shell starts up rfcomm and returns and I am guessing this rfcomm command runs 'headless' in the main os shell.
so what you need to do is get the process id of the running rfcomm :
the output of this shell command should give you the real process id of the rfcomm process .
"ps ax | grep 'rfcomm' | awk '{print $1}' "
which you can then you to send a kill signal... _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet
