maybe the "cool" line is this
- all other scheduler_task columns can be passed as keyword arguments;
the most important are shown.
however..... a task has group_name (it can be assigned to one and only one
group), while the scheduler has group_names (multiple groups allowed).
if you start the scheduler with web2py.py -K appname the "group_names" are
the same specified in the scheduler instantiation.
if you start it with web2py.py -K appname:group1:group2 it doesn't matter
how you instantiated it, it will only process tasks assigned to either
group1 or group2
