Hi, I wouldn't know how to configure pd to not do this, however a dirty

hack could be to use aj-snapshot to restore connections; you'd call it

as last line of your script (maybe preeceded by a "sleep 3" to wait

for all applications to have properly started) with the option (I don't

remember which) to make it first disconnect all connections - i.e. it

first disconnects everything, then makes only the connections you say

him so (by passing him a file).
aj-snapshot is really neat and manages jack audio, midi and alsa midi

connections.
HTH,

renato
