Thanks Ian for the reply. Your words on "every 5 minutes synchronized" match the ones in google's web site, but not the same as I experienced. I deploy my app 5-6 times a day for the past month and the cron job constantly starts and repeats at 05, 10, 15 of the hour. Nevertheless, this is what I want anyway.
Please help me further by explaining how I can "enqueue a task to run at exactly the time you want". I know how to submit jobs to task queues, but don't know how I can control the timing. Please help.
