Thank you in anticipation.
The confusion here is with the way UNIX handles variables. To define a variable and send it to the standard output in unix you use
> foo=bar
> ECHO $foo
> bar
The trick with ECHO $$ is that Unix has a number of predetermined variables, set at shell and environment level that contain specific pieces of infomation.
$ is the variable name used to identify the ID of the currently running process. So 'ECHO $$' will return the current value of $. Others include :
- $1 - $9 these variables are the positional parameters.
- $0 the name of the command currently being executed.
- $# the number of positional arguments given to this
- invocation of the shell.
- $? the exit status of the last command executed is
- given as a decimal string. When a command
- completes successfully, it returns the exit status
- of 0 (zero), otherwise it returns a non-zero exit
- status.
- $$ the process number of this shell - useful for
- including in filenames, to make them unique.
- $! the process id of the last command run in
- the background.
- $- the current options supplied to this invocation
- of the shell.
- $* a string containing all the arguments to the
- shell, starting at $1.
- $@ same as above, except when quoted.
It's all further complicated by the distinction between SHELL and ENVIRONMENT variables ( SHELL variables only apply to the current shell, ENVIRONMENT variables apply to all Shells ) and the fact that a single user can run multiple shells all with different variables defined, at the same time, and switch between them at will.

1) Because you're a big fat beardy geek.
2) Because you like scaring Americans on planes who think you are going to blow it up.Comment
