 Review comment:
   Changed the code to raise an error if the task start time is not set as 
suggested by Shirshanka.
   The reason for using a fixed time assigned at task startup is to allow 
grouping of output files which can be useful to understand debug issues with 
task execution or to understand how much data comes from each task.
