Hi all, kind of new to OSX. I'm wanting to set up an event that would
run hourly on ICal and it seems that I can only choose New Event, and
then set it up for daily or weekly, but not hourly.

I know I can do it manually, but that would take forever (even doing
"duplicate")

Am I missing something somewhere?

Thanks!

Cron is very much a native tool that does reminders down to the minute.
It is, however, a command line tool, so a person should get cozy with
Terminal before looking to use it. There are a couple GUIs I've seen
that wrap the configuration; otherwise, do a "man crontab" to get
started. An example entry I have (to update the RSS feed of
mat.subsume.com at 2 minutes before the top of every hour):

58 * * * * cd ~/bin;./matRSS.io && ./matRSS_update
