Question About Prime

[indysolo62123]

Not sure if this is the right section, pretty sure it isn't but not sure what other section it would fit under. Anyway I was wondering, if you upgrade to prime it says you can have 1 minute cron jobs. My question is can you then have crons within 5 minutes of each other? For example if I had prime and ran 1 cron every 5 minutes, then one at 4:30 on Sundays would I be ok?

yes, that is correct.

1 minute crons means you can have it run every minute...

Hi indysolo62123,

You may want to consider running your Sunday cron job at 4:32 so it does not overlap with your 5 minute job.

If you don’t, every Sunday at 4:30 you would have 2 cron jobs starting at the same time.

Ok, so would I only be able to do 4:32 and 5 minute with prime?

Not really. I'm suggesting not to start 2 cron jobs at the same time. You must allow at least a minute in between them.

If you are running a cron job every 5 minutes of every day of every hour, you need to plug-in your second job any at any time between those 5 minutes.
