I tried several things and found you can't do it directly but you can
certainly do it.
1. Set up to display a date/time:
Tools | Options | View and select a Date Format that includes time.
2. Set up the tasks
You can't use Insert | Recurring task because the most frequent occurence
is daily.
So ... you'll have to set up a pair of tasks (one at :00 and one at :30
and then copy and paste them 24 times for the day and then copy and paste
a full day's worth of tasks for ... well, for as many times as you find it
necessary.
2a. Give the task a name
2b. Set duration to 2min
2c. Set the start to a date/time ending in :00
2d. Repeat those steps for a task with a date/time ending in :30.
2e. Copy those two tasks and paste them 23 times.
2f. Go back and edit the start date/time field -- be careful about
setting AM and PM.
I have to say, though, that although you can do this, I'm not sure that
using Project as a Job Scheduler is a good idea. This task alone would
represent approximately 1,500 tasks monthly.

trying to schedule tasks that happen on the :00 and :30 of every hour
for 2 minutes. these are cron jobs that basically kick off, check a
process, record the status and end.
having a difficult time scheduling this in a 24 hour period. Any help
would be appreciated.
thanx.
