PidCmd

The -pidCmd parameter defines a command which will be executed by the dbwriter to determine it's process id. This command should print it's parent process id to stdout. The dbwriter is a java application. The java virtual machine cannot determine its own process id. The default value of the pidCmd is $SGE_ROOT/utilbin/$ARCH/checkprog -ppid.
