In the SNAP plug in it allows you to schedule posts on a time schedule. It seems to be ignoring my request to post every 3 minutesand posting all at once. I read in this forum that free accounts will not accept cron jobs less than 5 minutes?

My specific questions are: Do I need to set a Cron job in Cpanel for 5 or 6 minutes to get SNAP to schedule posts? What commands should I use?

Currently set up like this;

5 will work, provided that it doesn't collide with any other crons. You're allowed one every five minutes, so that might mean having to skip a run if you have an hourly or a daily or some such. If your schedule is complicated, it can be easier to run a job launcher as a cron and let it decide what to run.

I don't know if that's the job we're talking about or a different one. If it's a different one, you'll need to run the new job every ten minutes between those runs.
