      Scenario 1 - Admin cron cli script runs correctly

      1. Run admin cli cron script as you normally do 

        sudo -u www-data php admin/cli/cron.php

      2. Result: Admin cli cron script runs both scheduled and ad-hoc tasks

      Scenario 2 - Admin cron cli script runs only scheduled tasks

      1. Run admin cli cron script specifying the "scheduled" type 

        sudo -u www-data php admin/cli/cron.php -t=scheduled

      2. Result: Admin cli cron script runs only scheduled tasks

      Scenario 3 - Admin cron cli script runs only ad-hoc tasks

      1. Run admin cli cron script specifying the "adhoc" type 

        sudo -u www-data php admin/cli/cron.php -t=adhoc

      2. Result: Admin cli cron script runs only ad-hoc tasks

      Scenario 4 - Admin cron cli script doesn't allow running other unexistent types

      1. Run admin cli cron script specifying the "unexistent" type 

        sudo -u www-data php admin/cli/cron.php -t=unexistent

      2. Result: Admin cli cron script will throw an error stating that this type is unrecognized

      It would be nice if admin/cli/cron.php would receive an argument so it runs a specific type of task. This can help ease the pain in big sites which accumulate big amounts of ad-hoc tasks.
