Controlling Twitter times?

I've got Cumulus set to tweet every 180 minutes to my dedicated weather twitter account but the time it does it seems to depend simply on when Cumulus was started.

Is there any way to specify the minute past the hour that it tweets? I see by using a factor of 60 I can sort of control it but that doesn't work on high numbers where the interval is more than an hour.

I'd like to tweet every three hours, on the hour rather than at unusual minutes past.

Couldn't you shut down Cumulus then open it up again at the top of the hour?

Sorry, but as you've found, the facility for 'synchronised' updates only works for intervals of 60 minutes or less, and there's no easy way to extend that with the way Cumulus currently works. I'm hoping to add a more flexible solution at some point, but I can't say when that will be.

Thanks Steve, I thought that might be the case.

Richard, that's what I did :)
