Did you type it LITERALLY ?
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).


Including these hurdles?
- missing '
- command OS does not exist

Then I tried:
PID=`ps aux | grep bash | awk '{print $2}' |tail -n 1`
and
cat /proc/$PID/cmdline
cat: /proc/14739/cmdline: Unknown file or directory

This worked out for me:
PID=`ps aux | grep bash | awk '{print $2}' |tail -n 3 | head -n 1`
