This snippet doesn't exactly give you the PID, but it gives something
that's close enough for what I needed (and may be sufficient for the
OP's use case, I'm not sure):
import java.lang.management.ManagementFactory;
...
ManagementFactory.getRuntimeMXBean().getName(); // gets PID of
current process
What this gives you is a string something like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; we've
used it on Windows and on Linux. If all you want is the PID part, it's
simple enough to parse it out.
As far as killing a process (in Windows), XP's Task Manager can display
PIDs as an additional column in the Processes tab...

well, the fact that even in java5 there's nothing in the Java APIs to
give you the process ID of a started process is going to make it hard.
If someone knew how JPS worked (i.e. there was an official Java
interfact to whatever native lib is doing the heavy lifting, life would
be simpler
