Run every X minutes

[dhaarbrink]

There are some jobs I would like to schedule every x minutes.
I figured I could do it with ->everyMinute(5) or maybe ->hourly('*/5') but both aren't supported.

The latter could work if validateCronRange() is fixed to support it.

For now I use this workaround: ->at('*/5 * * * *'). But it is ugly, and kind of defeats the purpose of using an interface for scheduling.

I would think this is a common enough usage to be supported by the interface.

->everyMinute(5) is a more elegant syntax rather than:

$runtime = array(0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55);
foreach ($runtime as $timer) {
$scheduler->php('/path/to/the/job/php')->hourly($timer);
}

I used $object->at('42 * * * *') to run cron job after every 42 minutes. But when the cron job is run, it is run more than one time.

For example. A cron job is scheduled at every 42 minutes. When the time came, the cron job runs at the exact time but also multiples time.

Any help would be appreciated.

@peppeocchi I took the liberty to write a patch for this feature: #82. Could you please review? Thanks.
