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. (Messy stuff :-( )

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...
