[Cialug] Starting two jobs at once

[jim kraai]

node might be a great tool for this

If I were to write this from scratch, and since you're already using
python, I'd look into twisted reactor and writing/scheduling resource
watcherdogs.  i'm sure there's much better terminology, but this is one way
of doing it all in user space.

Of course, it's possible I've completely missed the point of the question.
 Apologies if that's the case.
