Possible To Start Agent Job from ASP or asp.net

I have a long running process that i would like to have started via a web
application. I suppose I have a few options and im not sure if #1 is
possible.
#1 - Start A Job via ASP or ASP.NET
#2 - Set a Flag that a job checks when it runs on a repeating schedule so
it will take action instead of just repeating again next time the schedule
hits.
#3 - Make sure all is ready for the job which occurs at a known time (a bad
idea)
Anyone know if #1 has a solution?You can start a sql job by calling this stored procedure.
e.g.
exec msdb..sp_start_job 'your_job'
-oj
