Delay 3600

[Anil Garg]

The delay of 3600 allows to space two commands by 6 minutes in the interval.  Is there a way to space the two commands of a backlog by greater than 6 minutes? Say 60 minutes.  I noticed that the delay of > 3600 is interpreted as delay 2.

I think you would be better served by using ruletimers and events to accomplish what you want rather than delay. The delay command can be interrupted by various things and is not a reliable thing to use, from what I've read.

Thank you. Learned something new. So, I guess...   delay is best used over a short period. As delay gets to be bigger, it increases the window probability to malfunctions as other interrupts could prevent it to function incorrectly.

Is that correct?  

Thanks.
