That is what I wish it to be. What is in focus in conversation is
using it on terminal and that is especially useful when accessing
remote applications.

Yes. And process runs with small differences, nevertheless
days. Running it with Common Lisp or Emacs Lisp makes no much of
difference. Shell as language is not quite comfortable for PostgreSQL
database processing, may be good for video processing. One video may
be alone 1-2 days of processing length. When interrupted without
possibility to continue, one may lose one day and have to restart
it.

Maybe better way of doing such jobs is to enter them into the queue
and have process handle the queue.
