Yes, ps(1).
You can wrap ps(1) in a shell script if you're looking for program
names though. Try using something like:
charon@hades[07:03]/home/charon$ ps xau | awk '$11 ~ /getty/ {print $2}'
717
718
719
720
721
722
Make that a script, and call it pidof, or whatever you like,
but ps(1) is the ``process status'' program.
