Linux Batch ASCIIDoctor generation of a bunch of ADOC's

GeekMustHave
I am considering creating a process where

1. On a scheduled basis I would read a single directory with a bunch of ADOC files in it.
2. I would generate a matching *.HTML file for each ADOC file into a different directory
3. I would generate a matching *.PDF file for each ADOC file into another differnt directory.

I understand this will need to be written in Ruby  using the ASCIIDoctor.JS which I can contract out.

I'm assuming that a CRON job could be the scheduler and the launcher for this Ruby utility.

Questions

1. Is this all fesible or am I really crazy like folks claim?  ;-)
2. Any suggestions where I can find someone to write this form me?

Thanks

The Asciidoctor command supports the glob operator, so you can run:

 $ asciidoctor -D output_directory *.adoc
 $ asciidoctor-pdf -D output_directory *.adoc

Cheers,
