/**
 * This class provides functions to manage backgroundjobs in ownCloud
 *
 * There are two kind of background jobs in ownCloud: regular tasks and
 * queued tasks.
 *
 * Regular tasks have to be registered in appinfo.php and
 * will run on a regular base. Fetching news could be a task that should run
 * frequently.
 *
 * Queued tasks have to be registered each time you want to execute them.
 * An example of the queued task would be the creation of the thumbnail. As
 * soon as the user uploads a picture the gallery app registers the queued
 * task "create thumbnail" and saves the path in the parameter instead of doing
 * the work right away. This makes the app more responsive. As soon as the task
 * is done it will be deleted from the list.
