Thanks,

You are right it is $! but my question that this throws up, is, if when
running x scripts the $! could return at some time the pid of a wrong command.
What I mean:
Imagine having two scripts (I know ls and df don't run long enough, it is just
used as an example):
1.)
ls
pid1s=$!
kill $pid1s

2.)
df
piddf=$!
kill $piddf

Now could it ever happen, if there would run really many of these scripts,
that you could end up with something like this:
df
pidls=$!

??

(Now I am using "pkill -f" for my scipt)
