To expand on Jack's answer:
pd -send "foo baz; bar 1 2 3;"
This will send 'baz' to the receiver 'foo' and '1 2 3' to the receiver
'bar'.

Here's a caveat for all Msys2 users on Windows: by default the Msys2
terminal interprets messages starting with a forward slash as absolute
file paths and prepends them with the Msys2 installation path. For example,
pd -send "/foo/bar 1 2 3"
will yield the following Pd error:
"C:/msys64/foo/bar: no such object"
Apparantly there's a way to turn this off with an environmental variable
but I couldn't make it work. A possible workaround is to replace the
first forward slash with a backslash:
pd -send "\foo/bar 1 2 3"
I once had been tearing my hear out for 1 hour, so I thought I'd better
share this.

Hello Mario,
If you do :
$ pd --help
you should get a line with :
-send "msg..." -- send a message at startup, after patches are loaded

Hi,
Is it possible to pass arguments to Pd via terminal?
I know we don't have [stdin], but I was wondering if there is any other way.
Cheers,
Mario
