What if we wanted to receive a reminder 45 minutes before the meeting/call?

45 min could be possible but then you need to run cron multiple time per hour.
In my case I let cron run ones an hour and I set notifications on a daily basis.
Now if cron wouldn't run the reminders function this time it would the next hour.
I'm not sure how Drupal will handle cron lets say every 5-10 minutes (I don't know what the load on the server will be if we use it too much). If you really want to run cron this many times I can try adding this feature to the module.

Carlo -
That may be a bit too load bearing.  I see what you mean.
We can stick with the one day notification for now.

Thanks again for the help.

I would have thought that running this cron on a frequent basis wouldn't place any more load on a server than a regular SQL expression to load load a web page. Why not run it on a frequent basis?

Hi speleo,

It's not my module that will do the load but the other modules in drupal that depend on cron.
Every module inside drupal with the cron function will be run, so depending on the functions they perform will be the load on the server.
