Config String

Specifies when and how often events are triggered.

The Config String consists of a series of space-delimited matches. Each match is in the form unit:spec1,spec2,spec3, etc. The unit specifies the unit of measurement for the time, e.g. hourly. The spec defines the duration, e.g. 7, so that specifies every seven hours.

Specifying * as a spec will match every number. Using the form /n+m will match when (value+m)%n = 0.
