Several daily schedules for one task
There are some cases when you might need the task to be run several times a day, or even several
times a day with different time intervals. For such cases, consider adding several schedules to a single
task.
For example, suppose that the task has to be run every 3rd day, starting from 09/20/2009, five times
a day:
 first at 8 AM
 second at 12 PM (noon)
 third at 3 PM
 fourth at 5 PM
 fifth at 7 PM
The obvious way is to add five simple schedules. If you spend one minute for examination, you can
think out a more optimal way. As you can see, the time interval between the first and the second
task's recurrences is 4 hours, and between the third, fourth and fifth is 2 hours. In this case, the
optimal way is to add two schedules to the task.
First daily schedule
1. Every: 3 day(s).
2. Every: 4 hours.
From: 08:00:00 AM Until: 12:00:00 PM.
3. Effective:
From: 09/20/2009.
To: not set.
Second daily schedule
1. Every: 3 day(s).
2. Every: 2 hour(s).
From: 03:00:00 PM Until: 07:00:00 PM.
3. Effective:
From: 09/20/2009.
To: not set.
4.4.2 Weekly schedule
Weekly schedule is effective in Windows and Linux operating systems.
To specify a weekly schedule
In the Schedule area, select the appropriate parameter as follows:
Every: <...> week(s) on: <...>
Specify a certain number of weeks and the days of the week you want the
task to be run. For example, with the Every 2 week(s) on Mon setting, the task
will be performed on Monday of every other week.
