Not keen on that idea.
I had rather have a table of process and link to a type of information
processed.
Since we consider having a process list + have some information on them
for instance, managed_imports process on borrowers, process on issues.
All those definitely are processes. It could also solve our problem with
scheduled tasks (I'd rather have a second table for that one).
process table :
process id;process name; description; process type (CGI, commandline);
options; data type; data id; system or always keep flag
(Maybe some other tables to store options and data in, data out,
depending on the way we ant to act)
process_schedule table :
processid; scheduled; time;regularity
with an other table that would store the status of all the processes
which could be sent.
process_report table;
processid; timestamplaunched; datefinished;status;results
This may allow more portability on Windows.
And would be much more in a OOP point of view, which is to my mind more
scalable and sustainable.

With a process Package which would allow New; Execute; Delete; Schedule;
DisplayResults.....

my 2 cts.
