Not a very nice solution, but if your routine is now returning a pid of the shell rather than the parent textmate, you can query it from bash, then the PPID should be the TM pid
$ ps -lp62651 UID PID PPID F CPU PRI NI SZ RSS WCHAN S ADDR TTY TIME CMD 501 62651 250 4084 0 48 0 3708212 48356 - S 0 ?? 0:02.11 /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/TextMate
This would be stable *even* if it was possible to run more than one instance of TM.
But are you sure this is even possible? I could not get TM to use more than one instance, even trying various things from the commandline

With Textmate 1.5 I used the parent process ID from my bundle script (PHP posix_getppid) in order to store some per-session variables. With 2.0, the same function returns a different value for each script execution in the same session. I realize I could query the system and find the Textmate pid by name, but there could be more than one instance running. Is there a better way to get a stable identifier that only changes if the application is relaunched?
