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
