Thanks.  I have 8.2 installed.  Do you know when 9.0 will be
released?

IIRC this was fixed in development version, i.e., Org 9.0.

Sorry, the correct syntax would be 

* TODO Load and run the dishwasher
  SCHEDULED: <2016-10-03 Mon 20:00 ++1d>

It still moves the scheduled time to the next day instead of
20:00 today.

[O] Repeating tasks with scheduled time

[Arkady Grudzinsky]

Say, I have this TODO item which needs to be repeated every
evening after 20:00 and if it is not marked as DONE for several
days, I want it to be moved to the NEAREST 20:00 in the future,
i.e. to 20:00 TODAY if I mark it at noon.  I thought, this would
accomplish the goal:

* TODO Load and run the dishwasher
  SCHEDULED: <2016-10-03 Mon 20:00 .+1d>

Instead, marking this task as completed today at noon moves the
schedule to 20:00 TOMORROW instead of 20:00 TODAY although the
nearest 20:00 in the future is, technically, 20:00 TODAY.

Is there a way to change this behavior?

[O] Repeating tasks

[Marvin Doyley]

Hi there,

Does anybody knows how to setup org to schedule repeated task between a
specified range of dates. For example, suppose I plan to work on a grant
proposal between 10 am - 1 pm every other day from May 1 to June 1, how
would I do this ?   My current practice is specify the start date with a
repeater (in this case +2d), and then delete task when the deadline has
passed. It though it would be more efficient I could assign a date range
rather than just the start date.


Cheers,
M

If I understand your situation correctly, you might take a look at
Habits. If you mark them done, they will be rescheduled to the next date
you specified.  Roughly it should look like this:

* TODO Work on proposal
  :SCHEDULED:  2013-05-01 Wed 22:00 .+2d
  :PROPERTIES:
  :STYLE: habit
  :END:

But your are probably better off looking at the part of the manual
regarding habits.

Alex

Re: [O] Repeating tasks

[Marvin Doyley]

org-habit is not what I am looking for.

I would like to do something like

* TODO write proposal
Scheduled:2013-04-30 Tue 13:00-15:00 --2013-06-02 Mon +2d

The idea is to repeat this task every other day from 2013-04-30 to 2013-06-02 
(from 13:30 to 15:00)

cheers

Ok, then I think diary sexp should do the trick.  Try the following:

** TODO 13:00-15:00 write proposal
%%(and (org-block 2013 4 30 2013 6 2) (org-cyclic 2 2013 4 30))
