Unify VISION has Distributed Application Partitioning, which allows you to run any piece of your application that you want wherever a DAP server is running. That includes running shell commands, programes, or anything else. It compares *very* favorably with Powerbuild in functionality and ease of use. You can find out more by calling 1-800-248-6439. Yes, I work for Unify, so I'm biased. You should still check it out, though.
