I am trying to figure out how to spawn a process / start an EXE from Rhozet Carbon Coder.
The manual mentions a task that sounds promising, "ExternalProcess", in section 5.8.2 but does not document this task.
Has anybody had success doing this, or knows where the ExternalProcess task is documented?

A: 

I have heard back from Rhozet that the ExternalProcess command mentioned tangentially in the manual is a typo, there isn't any task by that name.
Currently the only way to launch a process is to use the Notify task.
For example the folowing xml put in the Sources section of a configuration file launches notepad before running the job.

  <Notify>
    <PreTaskNotify>
      <ProcessNotify_0 NotifyCommand="notepad.exe" />
    </PostTaskNotify>
  </Notify>
