Very good questions - and one I don't know the answers. :/
I will say this: I use docs as a guide and then test to find out what
really happens, especially to identify boundary conditions.
It may be not so much the amount of sleep, as the call itself. I did
test via 'time' and see that daily generally takes less than 1 second
on my system, so adding 1 second certainly doesn't bump it above 10.
Or maybe any call would do there. (I did also generate a quick
/etc/periodic/daily/999.daily.delay which just does "sleep 60", but
this also ran fine, but failed to email.)
I have been unable to find the applicable difference between MOSX &
MOSXS systems i this case; it's vexing.
