[arm-allstar] Scheduler reload interval (and how to use the scheduler)

[David McGough]

Hi Barry,

Unfortunately, the app_rpt scheduler doesn't allow ranges (e.g.: 06-23),
only whole numbers. The syntax is more primative and much less useful than
cron, IMO.

there is no execution.  Again asterisk debug does show HR:6-23,
