I was writing a scheduler. I need to run a process every x minutes. The scheduling module I was using had functionality I could utilize that would run something at every time I specify. For example, I could run something at every 17 minutes past the hour and 51 minutes past the hour (twice every hour) by doing this:

rule.minute = [17, 51];

So, in order to run something every x minutes I did this:

var intervals = [];
var interval = Math.ceil(60 / x);

for(var i = 0; i < x; i++) {
	intervals.push(interval * i);
}

rule.minute = intervals

So, if we wanted to do it every 9 minutes (x = 9) we have Math.ceil(60 / 9) = 7

After the above code executes rules.minute = [0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56]

rules.minute.length = 9! This is what we want, right? This is what I thought at work today LOL

My logic error is that, instead of running the process every x minutes, I'm running it x times every hour :/

oops
