Thread: Cron Job Runs Too Often - Memory Issues

Cron Job Runs Too Often - Memory Issues

So I'd like to schedule cron job to run for WP and Clipper say 2-4 times a day, instead of throughout the day. Correct me if I am wrong, but by default it runs automatically throughout the day and seems to really suck up memory because it happens often - My error log shows the following:

Cannot allocate memory: [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25925] couldn't create child process: /usr/sbin/suphp for /home/xxx/public/wp-cron.php

So IF I schedule cron job, instead of letting it run wildly at will, my questions are:

- will posts I schedule to go live at specific times during any given day still run at that specific time? Or will they wait until the next time cron job runs, then post?
- How do I schedule cron jobs to run at a specific time, instead of the default of whenever?

Thanks!
