I'm gonna try Franks method too in a moment. What I ran up against last night was this:
I have rather a large directory of pd file to print. A method that loads Pd anew for each patch takes a "long" time. And I still had the problem of closing each instance. I was going to fork, get a PID and then kill from bash or perl. But scripting many instances of Pd too fast caused some evil crashes (on my machine at least). Learning a lot about this thanks to all.
