The answers above give you the pids of the shells running in the panes, you'll be out of luck if you want to find something running in the shells.

This scrip gives you all the pids as well as the files the processes have opened. I never know in which session, window, pane, attached or not, I have a file open, this helps.

I haven't tried it on another machine, tell me if you encounter any problem.

lsof needs to be installed.

if you just want pids, pstree is useful, you can modity the script to use it (it's already there commented)
