From: 12:00:00 AM (midnight) Until: 09:00:00 PM - thus, the task will be performed 8 times a
day with a 3 hour time interval. After the last daily recurrence at 9 PM, the next day comes and
the task starts over again from midnight.

3. Effective:

From: 09/15/2009. If September 15, 2009 is the current date of the task's creation and, say,
01:15 PM is the task's creation time, the task will be started when the nearest time interval
comes: at 03:00 PM in our example.
To: 12/15/2009. On this date the task will be performed for the last time, but the task itself is still
available in the Tasks view.

Several daily schedules for one task

There are some cases when you might need the task to be run several times a day, or even several
times a day with different time intervals. For such cases, consider adding several schedules to a single
task.

For example, suppose that the task has to be run every 3rd day, starting from 09/20/2009, five times
a day:

first at 8 AM

second at 12 PM (noon)

third at 3 PM

fourth at 5 PM

fifth at 7 PM

The obvious way is to add five simple schedules. If you spend one minute for examination, you can
think out a more optimal way. As you can see, the time interval between the first and the second
task's recurrences is 4 hours, and between the third, fourth and fifth is 2 hours. In this case, the
optimal way is to add two schedules to the task.

First daily schedule

1. Every: 3 day(s).
2. Every: 4 hours.

From: 08:00:00 AM Until: 12:00:00 PM.

3. Effective:

From: 09/20/2009.
To: not set.

Second daily schedule

1. Every: 3 day(s).
2. Every: 2 hour(s).

From: 03:00:00 PM Until: 07:00:00 PM.

3. Effective:

From: 09/20/2009.
To: not set.
