   Schedule daily updates

      2. In the Task interval (minutes) box, type a number to determine how many minutes elapse before the update starts again.
      3. In the Task duration (minutes) box, type a number to determine the time period during which the update repeats.
   4. In the Schedule interval (days) box, type how often you want the daily schedule to repeat.

Select the Repeat task check box, specify a Task interval of 5 minutes, specify a Task duration of 480 minutes (8 hours), and specify a Schedule interval of 1 day.
