Retrieve ProcessID for the running script

I am able to retrieve the ProcessID for processes using the Win32_Process
Class, however I am not able to retrieve the ProcessID for the script that
the code is running in. I can't use the Name of the process since I have
multiple wscript.exe running so the only way I can think of getting the
ProcessID is by finding properties for the current script process only. I
have no idea how to do this since the closest I can get is a complete list of
running processes while I just need the info for the currently running script.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I used Win32_Process.CommandLine property and it seems to work with both
wscript.exe and cscript.exe.

Set objSWbemServices = GetObject ("WinMgmts:Root\Cimv2")
Set colProcess = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery _
("Select * From Win32_Process")

For Each objProcess In colProcess
If InStr (objProcess.CommandLine, WScript.ScriptName) <> 0 Then
WScript.Echo objProcess.Name, _
objProcess.ProcessId, _
objProcess.CommandLine
End If
Next
