Can I use Zookeeper to run my application?

We have a bunch of servers. Each month we sort and merge data. We have processes created to run this, but currently they are run manually by our staff.

I want to automate this. I was thinking to use ZooKeeper.

So, these processes run on local machines, access data from a central data server, and write to local disk. Is this the kind of process ZooKeeper can monitor/execute?

Zookeeper is a wrong tool for the job. It is used for distributed process coordination via API. It can't start processes or monitor them.

It looks like you need something like Rundeck for job scheduling and management.
