Trouble with AWK script on Solaris machine

Hi ,
I'm running a script to grab a pid - which works beautifully on AIX ,HP and
SCO but not on Solaris. It looks like it can not get the pid...Any ideas:
pid=`ps -el | awk '( ($NF ~ /'"${UBS_SERVER}_serv"'/) && ($4 != mypid) &&
($5 != mypid) ){ printf "%d ",$4 }' mypid=$$ `

i have tried ps -eo with different formats ie: ppid pid etc...
Running out of ideas..

Thanking you in advanced

Pedds ; )
