I don't think I quite get what you mean.  I understand that if Tomcat
is running and you bounce it, it will get a new PID.  But I am
grepping for the currently running PID associated with Tomcat right?

For example:
.......
 pid = capture("ps -aef | grep tomcat | head -2 | tail -1 | awk
'{print $2}'")
 run "kill -9 #{pid}"
.......
