scheduling cron job

[sende...@yahoo.com]

I can use "every 5 minutes synchronized" to schedule cron job to run
at 05, 10, 15, 20 etc of every hour. How can I schedule cron job to
run at 06, 11, 16, 21 .... (1 minute off) of every hour?

I could be wrong, but in my experience "every 5 minutes synchronized"
means that each scheduled task starts 5 minutes after the previous one
started, and that the first start is at last configuration-upload-to-
GAE time.

You could have your scheduled task run every 5 minutes, and then have
a time detect. If the time is close enough then run your processing
from within your scheduled task, otherwise enqueue a task to run at
exactly the time you want (with a delay of between zero and 5
minutes).

Thanks Ian for the reply. Your words on "every 5 minutes synchronized"
match the ones in google's web site, but not the same as I
experienced. I deploy my app 5-6 times a day for the past month and
the cron job constantly starts and repeats at 05, 10, 15 of the hour.
Nevertheless, this is what I want anyway.

Please help me further by explaining how I can "enqueue a task to run
at
exactly the time you want". I know how to submit jobs to task queues,
but don't know how I can control the timing. Please help.

You can run a cron job every minute and check its time, or use task queue and set its eta.
