`exec` like command for other murex processes

`event` and `open` require parameters passed to them. So might need some careful thinking before implementing

I'm now thinking of scraping the original plan and work on a completely different model where data types are channelled via TCP/IP APIs (possibly just using HTTP because it's easier?)....
