Hi Tharindu, In effect yes. That's pretty much what's generic when it comes to tasks. Something analogous (to a certain extent) would be the Windows Task manager (the generic bit) compared with something like the Wrapper that we use to start Carbon as a background process (the context-specific bit).
Thanks, Senaka.
