I am not experienced with M$ OSes, but on Unix (Linux) it would be
possible to start a script, which looks in some maple-spool directory
to read there maple files, process them to produce the output tiles
etc. using nice (low priority background) maple (the command line
version, no GUI involved) [You see already here, that is is good to have
an non GUI version of maple, which makes already two GUIs, and thus a
client/server architecture useful]
I am not sure if you can do this with some Visual Basic script, but should
be possible also...
One point is problematic. If you shutdown your box, you kill the maple
process running and loose all results. If your jobs are short, this would
do no harm, just after reboot the batch script would re-run the oldest
maple job scheduled for spooling. However if you have long jobs, (since
there is no resume facility) this will not work, since the job will be
shutdown before its end every time and you will never get the result (my
jobs run up to a week [or I kill them]), hence in this case you need to
let your box running...
[By the way, with M$ OS you might not be able to have a maple job running
for days/weeks since the box crashes or slows down by memory leaks and
other harm, but Linux does well...]
