Guys,

Do scan times always have to be specified in seconds?

I've got some fields that only need to be scanned once a minute, once
an hour, once every 4 hours, once every 12 hours, and once each night at
midnite (actually, 24 hours from the last scan).

These are for compliance reporting information, the information comes
from remote sites, and it takes some time (a minute or so) to get each
of the hourly readings.  I'd rather not scan these when I don't have to,
and it would make more sense to admin if I could say "I scan this once
every 4 hours" instead of "I scan this once every 14,400 seconds".
