Scheduled tasks hourly

Hi, I want to be able to schedule a task to run every 15 minutes. Am I right in thinking that if I upgrade to a suitable account, then I would just have to use 4 out of my allowance and set them to :00, :15, :30 and :45 minutes and have them all run the same process?

Thanks

Nick.

Yup, that's right!

Cool. And thanks for the speedy answer!

@nickbull: WARNING!!! While you can certainly do exactly what has been discussed above. I would recommend avoiding :00. It used to be the default for all tasks to start at :00, thus there is a big delay for tasks that start at that time. If you just need the frequency of 15 minute resolution, but the actual minutes don't matter I'd suggest that you just shift to something different such as :57, :12, :27 and :47 or w/e you pick. </warning>
