Keeping PowerLoom around as a daemon?

I think I asked some similar questions several years ago, but
many of the details have no doubt changed on all sides.  So...


I'm interested in being able to "load up" a PL instance with a
bunch of information, ask questions of it, then adjust the set
of information, ask more questions, etc.  My language of choice
is Ruby, but I'm willing to generate and parse KIF or other
formats, if need be.

Could someone give me a hand-waving summary of how one might
approach this, what pitfalls to consider, etc?  My need isn't
imminent, but I'd like to know if I'm depending on something
that may not be all that easy to make work.
