 Please review
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/iwakeh/collector.git/commit/?h=task-19791
 -seconds-to-zero&id=160e1b437f017eef67036e82bbd01ae5b0b8e84d my branch].
 It contains the patch for 3, the HH.mm:00 part.
 The milliseconds are not easily set to zero, b/c the scheduler seems to
 take time to schedule a task.
 When the period is already running the start happens immediately, i.e.
 10:10:03 with period 2 and offset 0 the task will be started at 10:10:03.
 I didn't find a better solution here, will this suffice?


 Regarding part 4:
 It fits into the current design, but I rather have new properties instead
 of a command line switch. That way all settings are in one file, which
 helps with (remote) debugging.  Will that do?
