TimerTask drift away

[Mitschu]

Hi
I use a TimerTask which is scheduled to run every minute at seconde 40
eg. 11:15:40 and next 11:16:40.
After a day the task is running appr. 4-5 secondes later. There are
about 10 different TimerTasks running.
Is there a way to come absolute punctual?

Thanks
Michael

Use Timer.scheduleAtFixedRate() instead of Timer.schedule().

You need to resynch your clock with an atomic clock timeserver
periodically. If Windows is not doing it, try setclock at
