       Software question: I've a bunch of files, and I want to write a bunch of jobs to run against them. Tests, scripts to extract metadata, conversions to other formats, etc. So I want each procedure to run against each file, and then when I write new jobs it'll run against all the existing files. (similarly if I add new files).Then I can view the aggregated job output per file, search through all that, etc. Any suggestions on how to do this with existing software, before I code my own?

       @foone work places I've been in often used "control M" to do this sort of stuff: this is exactly what it is designed to do. It is very flexible, but totally shit to use if you ask me. I think it's also horribly expensive (but never had to pay for it, so I'm not sure).
