I don't understand; is there a problem or some difficulty with the
following command?

  echo my_msgs hello world \; | pdsend 4444

or is there with the following one?

  pdsend 4444 <<EOF
    my_msgs hello world ;
    my_msgs hello world take deux ;
    my_msgs hello world again ;
  EOF

or my favourite:

  (
    echo my_msgs hello world \;
    echo my_msgs hello world take deux \;
    echo my_msgs hello world again \;
  ) | pdsend 4444
