The "launcher" service provides a facility to create new conference processes on the service provider's host. The primary request is named "create" which is used to create a new process. Its first parameter is the type of conference to create, and additional parameters may also be specified which are passed to the conference. This command will return the process id of the conference. An internal request named "completed" is used by the newly created conference process to confirm its creation with the service.Note that GroupKit currently provides two implementation of this service; one launches completely new processes, while another creates a separate interpreter running in the same process to hold the new conference.
