What does mean $$ or $! in bash? [closed]

问题:

It's kind of easy question but I didn't find any information. What does mean $! or $$ in bash?

For example: ps -p $! or pstree $$?

回答1:

Actually, these variables were inherited by bash from the Bourne shell.

"$$" means current PID.

"$!" is the PID of the last program your shell ran in the background (e.g. "myprog &")

Here is a list of shell variables:

回答2:

$! is the process ID of the last job run in the background.

$$ is the process ID of the script itself.
