None of that requires actually controlling the PID of the child.
Consider this code:
int child_pid[5], j;
pid_t child;
for (j=0;j<5;j++) {
child = fork();
if (child == 0)
go_init_worker_process();
else
child_pid[j] = child;
}
Now you have 5 children, and know what process IDs they are, without
having to do any kernel hacking at all. This has been a long-understood
idiom in the Unix/Linux world - I remember first seeing it on SunOS 3.2 back
in 1985 or so...
