Ben, I see what you are saying. That would be an interesting way to limit the # of scheduled tasks that I need to create. No matter how I host the site (shared/vps), I might just do that to save some time and to simplify things a bit.

I'm not sure why that's not an option. It seems to me that you could create a db table which holds a list of accounts to be processed. Dequeue the first one, process it, and re-enqueue. Set up a single scheduled task for this, and fire it off every so-many (1, 2, 5?) minutes. Just a suggestion. --Ben Doom Che Vilnonis wrote: > Thanks Jerry. That's not an option, really.
