The only reason I see for having a daemon at all is to pick up jobs from the
queue.  In reality, I think even having the queue is overkill for the
moment.  The actual job dispatcher portion, that is, the piece that takes a
job control file, parses it, initiates deployment to a device, ... can
absolutely be a command line piece.  We're going to have to have one of
these processes running for each job running anyway, and it greatly
simplifies things not only for us, but for anyone who wants to run a
smaller-scale version of this.
