Cron job every minute alright ?

[10hosting43]

Is it acceptable to run a cron job every minute? I read in another thread that cron jobs shouldn't be more frequent than every 5 minutes, but the cron page UI has a selectable entry to run once every minute. So what's acceptable?

(and don't worry, it's not a processor intensive task)

Thanks!

Sorry, crons can only run once every 5 minutes. If you have multiple crons, make sure they don't go off within 5 minutes of each other. For example, one going off every 10 minutes and another every hour won't work as both go off on the hour.

The option is there because cPanel is developed by a third party company, not x10hosting.

Got it, thanks for the quick reply!
