+ * Array of arguments to pass on the command line. Does not include the command
+ * itself even if that is considered part of the command line. If missing, no
+ * argument list is generated.

+ * workingDirectory
+ * Working directory for the command. If missing, no working directory is set.
+ *
+ * description
+ * A description string that will be visible to system administrators. This should
+ * be localized. If missing, no description is set.
+ *
+ * disabled
+ * If true the task will be created disabled, so that it will not be run.
+ * Default false, intended for tests.
