Travis,
The only benefit to Stateman is that there are more OSF Servers to process REXX work, but one have to balance out as to which OSF Server class to send the request.
So there is no real benefit to Stateman.
The real benefit to all automation is the distribution of REXX work as to exactly what type of work it is.
Priority needs/should be immediate and long running for execs that might have long waits.
