XF 1.5 increasing Cron job frequency?

[tekboi]

Is it possible to speed up an existing cron job frequency? In particular, I'm speaking about the User Group Promotion cron job, I need it to run more frequently than an hour. I would honestly prefer it to be instant, but if I could at least get it set to run every 5 minutes that would help as well.

The best approach to this would really be to create a new cron entry based on the original promotion job and have it run as often as you like.

Thanks, that's actually what I ended up doing.
