## Frequency

When setting up the frequency of **LambdaCron** you must have into account following things.
#### Execution time
All tasks scheduled to run between the current event and the next event will be run immediately.

#### Higher frequency is 1 minute
Example: LambdaCron runs every hour ('0 * * * *'), tasks '0 1 * * *' and '58 1 * * *' will run at the same time.

#### Task frequency
Lambda cron will execute a task at most once invocation. This can result in a task being run fewer times than it's cron expression implies.

Example: If LambdaCron runs every hour ('0 * * * *'), a task '*/15 * * * *' will only run once an hour. If LambdaCron runs every minute ('* * * * *'), a task '*/15 * * * *' will only run four times an hour.

#### Frequecy and Precision

Events are based on [AWS CloudWatch Events](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/events/WhatIsCloudWatchEvents.html).

Be aware of this.

#### Higher frequency for a task is LambdaCron frequency.

It means that if LambdaCron run every hour and the task expression is set for every 15 min. the task
will run once an hour. When LambdaCron runs it will executed all tasks scheduled for the period of
time until next execution.

For example, if LambdaCron runs every hour (at mininute 00) and there is a task scheduled for minute 30, it will
run at minute 00. LambdaCron will run again next hour.
