We are creating a system where multiple processes can be controlled on
multiple machines from a centralized controller.
We are using the Turbine scheduler to run recurring jobs. We added a
feature and an interface to the scheduler that allows processes that may
continue to run in the background or are run on an irregular basis to be
initiated via the web.
The scheduler communicates with an rmi activation server that spaws the
processes. This way each process runs in its own vm and we can control
multiple machines from one location.
