      Yes folks, it's that time again. I'm looking for a nice suffix for an application that executes tasks in order to perform an upgrade, and ultimately, all similar applications (that execute tasks). -Manager has seen its day, -Wizard isn't accurate, and -Worker just doesn't sound right. Yes, this is ultimately a programming question, but I am appealing to Lounge denizens' command of the English language, and not of programming languages, so I thought I could squeeze it past the censors. :)

                                      An analytical app I inherited at my old job had a couple thousand lines of business logic in a monstrous function called AnalCalculate... But then, it was a VB6 app, originally written in VB4, so we can make all kinds of comments...
