Would it be possible to dynamically change motion parameters on the fly e.g
with weather conditions? Is there a means of accessing the parameters
programmatically?
Thanks

You can overwrite the conf files and restart motion with a cron job, I've
done this for day/night configurations.

Or you can just send it REST commands, same as the browser UI does.

Apparently the $! system variable contains the PID of the last run process
but the process (i.e. ffplay) has to be run in the background. This
shouldn't be
a problem. The PID can be saved to a file for retrieval by the 'stop'
script or if there
is a way for a script to determine whether the on_event_start or
on_event_end
option called it ($PPID just holds PID of motion so that's no help), a
single script
could handle both events.
