How to set Cron jobs (Scheduled Tasks) from each 1 hour to each 6 hours?

[MyLibary]

Try to figure out how to solve this stupid problem.

Right now the "thread views" cron job is doing it every hour, i tried anyway to set it to every 6 hours but failed.

Any suggestions?

Here i have attached screenshot:





As you can see i have set it up to hour "6".
I expect to get the script update every 6 hours but it set it up to get updated at 6AM morning every day.

Waiting for your help.

There is no way to specify that through that interface. If you really have to have something run every 6 hours you could add 3 more scheduled tasks that run the same script and set the hour for each to something like 0, 6, 12, and 18. ETA:.. but if you have a forum without much traffic (like 6 hours at a time with no visitors) you might find it causes a problem when it tries to catch up.

My forum is pretty active, but what problem it may cause?

I guess I was just thinking that it might slow things down if more than one was running at a time. But as long as your forum has a visitor every 6 hours you should be OK.

Now that I think of it, if traffic was that low you wouldn't get it running more than once at a time, so there really isn't a problem.
