The problem with cron for me is that I can get it to run at most every minute, where I need my task to run every second or two. :\
I thought I had the most recent appserver, but I see 'Tasks will not run automatically. Push the 'Run' button to execute each task.' on the task admin page. I will download the latest version and try again. Thanks!
