You can store the process id in a variable if you start a program
asynchronously from a script. For example here is part of my ~/.xinitrc
----
# start window manager
/usr/bin/fluxbox & $wmpid=$!
# launch programs here asynchronously
# wait for window manager to exit
wait $wmpid
----
You could use pdsend to send the pid to pd after a short delay (enough
time for Pd to start and load the patches that will receive the pid).
