Yes, ps(1).

You can wrap ps(1) in a shell script if you're looking for program
names though.  Try using something like:

    charon@hades[07:03]/home/charon$ ps xau | awk '$11 ~ /getty/ {print $2}'
    717
    718
    719
    720
    721
    722

Make that a script, and call it pidof, or whatever you like,
but ps(1) is the ``process status'' program.
