I was wondering if the scripts my cron jobs run are allowed. If not, could you recommend a way to do it? Also, if it isn't allowed, I will remove it I'm just kinda confused about the wording in the ToS.

I know the job works, I just want to make sure it falls within the ToS.

Cron jobs must start at least 5 minutes apart.
So you cannot set a cron job to run every minute. Or every 4 minutes.
If you have one job (A) to run every half hour and another (B) to run every hour
You cannot have A run on the hour and B on the hour and half hour. They conflict.
Run A at xx:00 and B at xx:05 and xx:35.
If you add C that runs once a day around midnight , have it run at 0:10

They must not be resource hogs.

They must not do things specifically against the TOS.
