Tasks can be basic or advanced:

Basic tasks refers to actions that are common on every OS. run program x is a basic tasks.
Advanced tasks are not basics and we can let the user to write then. For this, they need knowledge in batch for the target OS.

An example for an advanced tasks:

Some time ago I had to delete a folder in Windows, but I did not have the neccesary permissions on that folder and I was the system administrator. Therefore, I had to write some batch commands to change the permissions and delete the folder. Nowadays I do not remember how I did this and I have to learn it again if the problem reappears.

If the application detects that there is a command that can not be compiled to a given operating system, it may display an error message and not compile.
