Scott,

Looked in there... I didn't see anything that would let me schedule
something that often with any sort of accuracy.  The Agent only allows for
once a minute, and you can set up multiple schedules for one job at one
minute intervals each offset by a few seconds, but it doesn't seem to "work
well" (c)(tm)(r).  Example, I set one job up with 4 schedules.  Each was one
minute interval and each was offset by exactly 15 seconds.  Only the first 2
schedules worked for a while.  In a few minutes it all seemed to tick right
along, but the inconsistency was disconcerting.

Good idea though.

Where's the proverbial smiley?  Certainly you can think of SOMETHING that
needs to be updated or processed every few seconds.

Updating a webcam feed
Check the temp on my Fridge to make sure it's exactly 35.5 degrees F
Pulling down RSS from a few thousand sources (a few at a time of course)

I can think of many reasons.
