Hello,

if we'd like to compete with FME, I think that we need a shell tool to
run jobs without a graphic engine (or at least without an opened
graphical user session). It could be used on dedicated
servers to run a series	of jobs	during the night. FME has the same
sort of	tool (in fme.exe).

I think	that this script (probably coded in Python) should be included
into QGIS core to provide a better support and integration with
Processing. The	jobs could be defined in .model files like those in
Processing modeler and we could	add some dynamic parameters to re-use
the model for different	sources/targets.

This script could also be used as the "worker" behind an
administrative web interface or	something similar.

Cheers
