Not always on login.  For big administered systems, we use batch schedulers
to manage the placement of multiple jobs, submitted to a run queue by users,
onto the available compute resources.

But I agree with your conclusion - the existing task grouping mechanisms,
while useful for some purposes, don't meet the need here.
