Thanks Guido, I had in mind something very similar. A alternative solution I am thinking of, because I don't want more than one process running at the same time on the same node, is using a cluster aware router with one routee per node.
When some actor send something like: StartProces(...) the sender will be notified every now and then with the process progress and with the final result. So I will have one Actor instance for each execution, lets call it ProcessMonitor and one Actor instance for each node as executor. These will be reused. I think I may work as I want.
