There was a proc box in the original Plan B of which there were different
version in the descendants (for files too) and
which permitted things similar to what you want. See

and

Later, Andrey and Ron did something similar for clusters with xcpu:

Just idea, but seriously, why cannot do something like this:

# cat /prog/new > $id
# cat /dis/ls.dis > /prog/$id/dis
# echo "/" > /prog/$id/cwd
# echo «Running» > /prog/$id/status

Not to do it which echo/cat, but to have remote access to /prog/new
