#### Task Types
From the low-level point of view there are only two types of tasks in the job.
First ones are doing some internal operation which should work on all platforms
or operating systems same way. Second type of tasks are external ones which are
executing external binary.
Internal tasks should handle at least these operations:
- *fetch* -- fetch single file from fileserver
- *copy* -- copy file between directories
- *remove* -- remove single file or folder
- *extract* -- extract files from downloaded archive
These internal operations are essential but many more can be eventually
implemented. Full list should be accessible in 'Job configuration' appendix.
External tasks executing external binary should be optionally runnable in
sandbox. But for security sake there is no reason to execute them outside of
sandbox. So all external tasks are executed within sandbox which should be
general and configurable. Configuration options for sandboxes will be called
limits and there can be specified for example time or memory limits.
#### Configuration File Content
@todo: discuss what should be in configuration: limits, dependencies, priorities... whatever
