	<title>Overview</title>
	<para>
		The module executes event route blocks or KEMI functions on dedicated
		processes at startup. The execution can be delayed for a specified
		interval of time.
	</para>
	<para>
		The actions in the event route should be a loop or other tasks that
		run forever.
	</para>

	<title>Parameters</title>
	<section>
		<title><varname>exec</varname> (str)</title>
		<para>
		The definition of an exec task. The value of the parameter must have the
		following format:
		</para>
		<itemizedlist>
		<listitem>
		<para>
		"name=_string_;wait=_number_;workers=_number_"
		</para>
		</listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
		<para>
			The parameter can be set multiple times to get more exec tasks in
			same configuration file.
		</para>
		<itemizedlist>
		<listitem>
		<para>
			<emphasis>name</emphasis> - name of the event route to be executed.
			When used with a KEMI embedded language, this has to be the name
			of a function from the KEMI script. The function must have a
			string parameter, which will retrieve the index of the works in
			string format.
		</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
		<para>
			<emphasis>workers</emphasis> - if set to 0 or 1 the task is executed
			in a dedicated process. Any number > 1 will create more dedicated
			processes, each of them executing the task.
		</para>
		</listitem>
		<listitem>
		<para>
			<emphasis>wait</emphasis> - timer interval in micro-seconds to wait
			inside the dedicated process before executing the task.
		</para>
		</listitem>
		</itemizedlist>
		<para>
		<emphasis>
			Default value is NULL.
		</emphasis>
		</para>
		<example>
		<title>Set <varname>exec</varname> parameter</title>
