Sitecore scheduled task only runs every hour

Question

We set up a schedule to execute a command. It is scheduled to run every 5 minutes as follows: 20090201T235900|20190201T235900|127|00:05:00

However, from the logs we see it runs only every hour.

Is there a reason for this?

Answer 1

check scheduling frequency in your sitecore.config file

<sitecore>
    <scheduling>
        <!-- Time between checking for scheduled tasks waiting to execute -->
        <frequency>00:05:00</frequency>
    </scheduling>
</sitecore>
