+# To specify a list of custom tasks, pass in the task parameter:
+#    tasks='<task0> + <task1> + <task2> + ...'
+#
+# Task format:
+# - Open a window with some tabs, keep them open for some time:
+#       window;<comma-delimited urls>;<duration>
+# - Cycle through a list of sites one at a time, for a total duration, and a
+#   given delay on each site.
+#       cycle;<comma-delimited urls>;<duration>;<delay>
+#
+# Duration and delay are given in seconds.  The tasks are sequential.  So if
+# task0.duration=1800 and task1.duration=1200, task0 will run for 30 minutes,
+# followed by task1 for 20 minutes, for a total of 50 minutes.
+#
+# Example: Use the 'tasks' string below.  Pass 'tasks=tasks' as an argument into
+#          job.run_test().
