regarding to your question for now, this is possible, but by writing a modules in C but the modules are not yet threaded, that mean if you launch a process in a module that take 10minutes all the APE server will be blocked by this script! We are working hard to implement threaded modules :) I think this might be out in couple of weeks ;) We are also working on spidermonkey integration on the server side (javascript), this will allow developper to write easily modules ;) I hope I answered your question.
