Enhanced Time profile

I think the Time and Date profiles \event is a little bit weak in matter of scheduling possibilities. 

I have a software with scheduling Gui feature that I believe do that right. 

It has hourly and daily type settings. 

On hourly schedule you can set if it will happen on specific hour, if it will repeat every specific time and when it begins and ends. 

It also can set multiple hours to run at.

On daily, you can choose specific days in a week that it will run

It would be nice if something similar will be implemented.

You can already combine time and day conditions by adding both time and day conditions to a profile :)

Yeah I know. But my suggestion is having a little more enhanced time \date profile.

Like in the example I gave from the Oracle sql developer tool

Some of the timed events are really inconvenient\messy to achieve.

That's why I think that a complete overhaul of those type of profiles would add alot

Can you give an example of a specific setting you can't achieve with Tasker?

I'd like a more uniform timing solution like Cron has.

* * * * * 

mins hours day month dow

Would just make for more fluidic timing, for example, only run this Task on Monday and Wednesday, for every hour. With the IF's coupled, we can refine time periods for smaller windows (only between 3pm and 6pm).

Advantage with this, globals can be used to dynamically adjust the timer without editing or additionals.

Thanks.
