Hi,

I'm not sure if I understand the limits for scheduled tasks correctly. You can have daily or hourly tasks, 20 of them. Does that mean I could have 2 tasks executing the same script, running at :15 and :30 respectively, in effect having an execution twice per hour? Or does it mean 20 executions per day in general? (so only every hour from 0:00 to 20:00?)

Thanks!

If you have two hourly tasks, one at :15 and one at :30, you'll get an execution twice per hour -- so, 48 in total over the course of the day.

The real limitation on scheduled tasks comes from your number of CPU-seconds; if you run out of them, then your tasks will run in the tarpit, which basically means that they get any spare CPU we have, and will run slowly. There's more information on that here.
