I created a program document to run every ten minutes (the interval is, or should be, irrelevant). When I plug in an interval and a start time, I get this error when saving the document: “You cannot set an interval greater than 0 for single times. The entries you put in the ‘Run at times’ field includes at least one single time element.” Does this mean I cannot include a start time for the first time to run the program if I have an interval? If I remove the interval, I can include a start time. It doesn’t allow me to include both. The Help files seem to indicate I should be able to enter data into both fields.

The error is produced as a result of the “SINGLE” time value being used.
In order to work around this you can specify a time range rather than a single value.
For instance you can specify the time value as “1:00 PM - 2:00 PM” and the interval to your specified value, for instance “5 minutes.”
This will result in the program doc being run at 1:00 PM and every 5 minutes thereafter until 2:00 PM.
Using the time range rather than a single time value will allow you to specify the start (and end) time as well as the necessary interval value.

You are correct. You cannot use a start time and an interval. You could, however, use the operating system scheduler to run a script if this level of control is required. The script can be as simple as calling (n)server -c with the desired server command.
