You could try to start the command and then execute pidof command name which should return the PID(s) of running commands, which you could kill/hangup with yet another command. Not totally on-topic, but after a discussion with a friend yesterday I am curious if the functionality of ggee/shell can't be achieved with pd-send and pd-receive as well?
