scripts: GRACE runs almost any script you like - it's a CGI container.
You're not required to use SOAP, XML, web services.
daemons: all these services listen, so they are daemons, effectively.
crons: yes, a bit more problematic. I can think of a few inelegant
workarounds but, let's see what's really needed,
We do need to approach this with an open mind. I hope the experiments
will be really honest about what they really do need (not just what they
want).
