You can try 'pidof'[1], if you're simply interested in find pid of a
process :)

The argument of grep is a regular expression (type 3 language), and
there is no way you can do this in a type 3 language. Even 'grep' also
matches 'grep' text when you pass '-v grep' argument to 'grep' command
line, and then only outputs unmatched lines.
