Getting pid of a remote process

[srinivasan srinivas]

Hi,
Could you please suggest me a way to find pid of a process started on a remote machine by the current process?? I should get pid in the current process environment. The approach should be somewhat generic. It shouldn't expect the remote process to print its pid.
Thanks,
Srini

Without information about

- the OS you use

- the technique you use for spawning processes remote

there is no answer to this.
