Presentation¶

Features:
- scheduling based on concurrency and min/max age
- gathering of file data using file name and content regex to be used in pattern replacement
- cancel mode (with pattern replacement)
- running of an external processing command (with pattern replacement)
- "load check" via external command or Ruby plugin to allow processing depending on external conditions
- logging with ajustable verbosity to help debug problems
