I think you need to turn the list you have into the chain of processes, where each process is one element in the chain, then you can associate the arguments with the appropriate process and then when the list is all assembled have a piece of code that goes through the whole list forking/pipe'ing and exec'ing as required.
Of course the whole linked list of processes becomes one job.

CHAIN(3) MBK UTILITY STRUCTURE DEFINITIONS CHAIN(3)
NAME
chain - mbk lisp-like service structure
DESCRIPTION
The chain is used for any purpose, when a list of pointer is required. The use of this structure is strongly recommanded, when such a need
occurs.
The declarations needed to work on chain are available in the header file "/labo/include/mut315.h", where '315' is the actual mbk version.
The following C structure supports the description of the chain :
typedef struct chain {
struct chain *NEXT;
void *DATA;
} chain_list;
NEXT Pointer to the next chain of the list.
DATA Generic pointer used to point to any kind of object. Do not forget to cast the pointer back to its previous type when
using this field.
Remark : a specialized memory allocator has been built in order to create and free chain_lists, so absolutly avoid to create or
free them an other way than through the access functions.
