> In some cases (like the webloader example), long-running processes need to be started, monitored and stopped.
> The webloader implements this in a naive way, it might be useful to have a more generic facility for this: a service that would:
> 1) Start a script or servlet, probably passing it a fake request object that gives access to parameters and output but is not a real HTTP request
> 2) Display a status page where currently running jobs can be monitored, and stopped if desired
> 3) Collect the output of such jobs in the repository and give access to it via a simple monitoring interface
> The output of long-running jobs could be structured using html conventions (like <div class="status">running step 3 of 12</div>) to create overview displays of all currently running jobs.
> This is just an idea for now, I'm not going to work on this right away, but it's probably good to keep in our wishlist.
