I also would like to express my appreciation for the effort made on this
project...

one web application I would find handy would be a view on the tables 
OrderJournal, Executions and the likes. That would allow to keep
somewhat in touch with your system using a blackberry device or so if
you are somewhere on the road.  
The API reuqires a running tws session and you can have just one session
for one account at the same time, right? Is there any other way to get
execution informations from remote apart the syslog entries if you
accidently have a running ssh session?
