I just defined a client action on the server to run a command.. I then
restarted the scheduler (windows platform). It didn't run so I looked on
the client's dsmsched.log file to see what it was doing and found this:

12/04/2001 11:41:54 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY BEGIN
12/04/2001 11:41:54 --- SCHEDULEREC QUERY END
12/04/2001 11:41:54 Next operation scheduled:

12/04/2001 12:20:24 Querying server for next scheduled event.


Now the client is set to polling and only poll's every 12 hours. But I
was a bit surprised, to say the least, that it wasn't going to run my
client action for 11 hours and 33 minutes. Why doesn't it run the
command immediately? This is kind of annoying.. Is there some logic
behind this behavior?
