Adding tasks

Simple adding of a new task

task "/bin/sleep 5s && /bin/echo Hello again, $(id -un) | /usr/bin/write $(id -un)" \
success "echo Ok > /tmp/queuetest" \
fail "echo Fail > /tmp/queuetest"

./dashboard.sh add-task \
task "/bin/sleep 5s && /bin/echo Hello again, $(id -un) \!\!\! | /usr/bin/write $(id -un) && /bin/false" \
success "echo Ok > /tmp/queuetest" \
fail "echo Fail > /tmp/queuetest"

Checking status
