Description

Using Tika with Mono on Windows, Linux and Mac I miss a simple and OS-independent way to get the Process ID of a running Tika service. 

Therefore, I suggest that the following API is added  to Tika:

GET /pid
Class: org.apache.tika.server.resource.TikaPID (guessing that this would be the class)
Method: getPID
Produces: text/plain

The output would be the integer value (as a string) of the PID
