| Thanks for the advise.  I do indeed need to clean up before shutting down.  And I do 
|the
| pid thing in the second program so I guess I might as well do it in rd too.

If it is rd itself forking off the program you can do this:

        the other cmd &
        otherpid=$!
        ..........
        kill $otherpid

No files needed.

This explains a lot about me. I thought it was the heavy drinking, the
late hours, the barking mad women, the lying around in bed reading novels and
eating Nescafe out of a jar with the spoon. But it's because of the Mac.
