I'm planning a web site (w/ Dancer, of course :) ) that will execute
shell scripts (to compute some results) and eventually return the

The web-side is simple enough, but the shell scripts might take
anywhere between 10 seconds to 10 minutes to execute.
Is there a recommended way to manage external jobs for this type of
scenario ?
Just another idea to add to the other more concrete suggestions...
If you're happy with javascript being involved, there's a browser
notification system similar to Growl, you could try, called jsGrowl.
I've seen it used in the Cobbler web UI where you start a job, then
later on the notification pops up in the corner of the browser, with a
link to an 'events log' page. This is independent of the
queue/job-control. It simply makes a background AJAX request to the
server every two seconds asking for new 'events', and pops up if there
is one.
