Well, if you're starting Tomcat via an /etc/rc.d/init.d script, that'll
write the PID to /var/run/tomcat.pid.  Otherwise, you can do as Yoav
suggested, use grep, and keep track of the first instance you come
across (which will be the parent).  If I was still at work, I could cut
the syntax from our shutdown script, but...any decent shell tutorial
will tell you have to keep track of that stuff in a script.
