Using Pid would be enough. But first you need a valid one. Assume you
want to start application at some other node and you want to send
message to it. You need to start application using rpc:call(SomeNode,
yourapp, startfun, [Params]). It returns {ok, Pid} in case of success.
This Pid you may use as any other local pids.
