I need to look more at my 'Shell' events, then. I'll talk more about this when I have enough logs to look at.

From my experience, yes...That's exactly what 'Exec Min' does. Currently, I have two 'Hourly' events, one to poll fsxNet, and another to poll Fidonet. The fsxNet event is set for :00 because fsxNet is simply better, and the Fidonet poll is set at :05 because it deserves to wait another five minutes. (o_-)
