If you are running background commands you can use $!:
| #!/bin/sh
| job &
| echo "$!" > /var/run/job.pid
If the job puts itself into the background you need to grep
the PID:
| #!/bin/sh
| job
| ps auxw | awk '/[j]ob/ { print $2 }' > /var/run/job.pid
Be sure to supply a pattern which matches one process only.
