Issue discussed in this Discourse thread:
https://cylc.discourse.group/t/cylc-question-on-wall-clock-synchronization/58
For example, in order to start a crontab job to run every 5 minutes starting from the earliest 5, 10, 15, etc minutes past the hour, the crontab syntax is just:
*/5 * * * * do-stuff
In Cylc, user has to do:
[scheduling]
initial cycle point = next(T-00; T-05; T-10; T-15; T-20; T-25; T-30; T-35; T-40; T-45; T-50; T-55)
[[dependencies]]
[[[PT5M]]]
graph = @wall_clock => do-stuff
It is fair to say that Cylc needs to do more than Crontab, but we should at least try to find a way to simplify the initial cycle point = next(...) syntax.
