plus:
- including the ability to restart at any job once a problem has been fixed.
- conditional execution depending upon the result of a previous job.
- maximum number of simulataneous jobs on a system, or across systems.
(and the ability to have user interfaces sat atop, to indicate how far
a batch-run has got.)
