Cause the process name wouldn't be much of a problem, just a question of trial and error, for those apps that launch multiple processes.
Also, maybe I wasn't clear enough, but I'm planning on creating one script for each app, not a global script that does it all by itself, all I need is the signal that is used, so I can do "focus on firefox" on the firefox script, "focus on thunderbird" on the thunderbird script, etc..., not a general "focus on $pid".

ps w -eo 'comm' | grep -qE "^${PROGNAME}$"
that will return successfully if ${PROGNAME} is running and
with a failure code if it is not (no guarantees on the
portability of that... I know it works on Linux).

The problem isn't in sending the signal... that would be
fairly trivial (as you mentioned, clicks and alt+tab do it
already). The really difficult part is figuring out which
windows go with which pids/process names.
