I think you were meant to expand $PID with something real (in lazarus code you can get what it should be for this purpose from the GetPID function).
Try this: PID=`OS aux | grep bash | awk '{print $2} |tail -n 1` Then run the same command again (Yes this is a roundabout way of proving a point, I did that on purpose).
