This is awesome, but it should be easy to actually create a broader framework that allows one to control & monitor processes that run scripts on servers in general, & not just Hubot -- Hubot could be just an adapter for the more general tool, do you think this is feasible? :)

The problem there is that every new service needs its own glue code. I know there are companies (that I'm not shilling for) that are trying to create something like "universal glue code" but I'm not so sure those proprietary solutions are the right way. That seems to be against "the Unix way".
I openly admit that I'm not smart enough. I've thought about it for a while and I'm flummoxed. What's a good way to make glue code easier?

I think this is all about API & modularity, if you define a general API for your monitoring tool (eg. how should an adapter notify you when there is a new job, etc), you can then write an adapter for Hubot, and everyone that has its own solution can write an adapter for it & glue it to your code :)
