Okay, maybe that's a bit of a stretch, analogy wise, but it will spawn a single worker
script that will process through the queue, one at a time, only
if the server isn't overloaded already (like the charts described above), and will process itself as fast as possible so it can take a break until the next
batch comes in.
PowerShell
scripts and Bash
scripts may be more powerful, but
batch files can still be plenty useful
if you need to run basic Windows commands.
