scripted input to run at top of minute

[aaronkorn]

Is it possible to tell Splunk to run a scripted input every 5 min at the top of the minute. Ie Script run at 11:05:00 then 11:10:00? We are running into issues with timeranges and overlap.

Simple:

[script://$SPLUNK_HOME\etc\apps\AppName\bin\ScriptName.cmd]
interval = */5 * * * *
sourcetype = MySourceType

Thought about using a modular input where your input can check time ever often.
