I understand that it would be kind of wrong doing this, since the process is locked to one kind of task. You’ll get an application server in a ’starting’ state that will essentially just do the same thing you can do with a plain do loop in progress to start a number of batch processes, there are certainly better ways to use an application server especially if the number of licenses are scarce 
Either with a repeat: pause n. loop, or a wait-for with a pause n. Since there is no UI and a server socket can’t be used there what will you be waiting for? Pause/sleep it’s something else, this is what I call ‘enterprise’ software… it just takes breaks now and then I would probably be bether of using a process runing as a window service. Definitively, running a batch Progress process through Windows services is not as hard as it sounds.
