[Owncloud] Background Jobs

[Alessandro Cosentino]

Not being able to deactivate something that regularly connects to
external servers sounds freaky.
Suppose you have a home installation of owncloud and you pay for this
kind of connections.
Or maybe you are just afraid of being banned by some websites that
gets annoyed by regular fetches ("robots beware" kind of policy).
My opinion is that there should be such option.
