you can use the pdsend command which may be the Bash equivalent of 
[netsend] and send this info to a [netreceive] in the patch. 
Alternatively, you could write the $! to a file and load it using [coll] 
or something similar.



personally, though, I'd write an external for it:

GridFlow::FObject.subclass("pid",1,1) {def _0_bang() send_out 0,$$ end}

and paste it in ~/.gridflow_startup

then, banging such a [pid] object gives me the pid of the current pd
server.



it's also easy using Python.
