How to set custom timeout for say 17 minutes

[battaputha123]

What is the correct way of setting the timeout for say a custom amount of minutes (say 17)

this means the crontab expression */17 * * * *

i don't know how to achieve the */17 part from the UI by selecting minutes

For that expression, you can use a custom schedule like this:

• Minutes: 0, 17, 34, 51
• Hours: Select all
• Days of week: Select all
• Days of month: Select all
• Months: Select all

Thanks for the reply! Yeah, this is somewhat what I tried. The issue I was having was after 51 the next execution is at 0 which is 9 minutes apart.

I believe this is also they way the cron daemon works when using */17, so the suggested custom schedule should still match the expression.
