Scheduling updates with cron-style schedule

n1nj4888 opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi There,

Great idea for a service but wondered whether it was possible (or you could consider) extending the schedule from a simple frequency of minutes to a more cron-like schedule? For example “0 1 1 * *” would cause the updates to run at 01:00am on the first day of every month, or “0 1 * * *” would cause the update to run at 00:01am every day.

The reason for this is that it would be easier to anticipate when updates would occur rather than every 5mins say?

If users still wanted to updates to be checked every 5 mins could use the cron schedule of “ */5 * * * *”?

Thanks!

Closing this as I can now see this question/ issue has previously raised and is potentially awaiting to be addressed?
