How can I, simply, send pulses between processes without having the pid of
either process.
What can name_attach, name_open etc be used for, can they help??

They are exactly what you need. The process that is going to receive
pulses can do a “name_attach()” to register a name, then you use the
chid from that call for all your MsgReceive() calls. Any process that
wants to send it messages or pulses does a name_open() on that name,
and then does a MsgSendPulse() or MsgSend() to the coid returned by
the name_open().
