 * Time is an integer.
 * Units indicates the time unit you use. It can be: seconds, minutes, hours, days.
 * Module and * Function are the exact call you want to schedule.
-* Arguments is an erlang list of arguments inside the characters "> ."
+* Arguments is an array.  Strings will be converted to binaries.
+* timer_type is one of 'fixed' or 'interval'.  Fixed timers occur at a fixed time
+  after the [minute|hour|day] e.g. every hour on the 5th minute (1:05PM, 2:05PM etc)
+  interval timers occur every interval (starting on an even unit) e.g. every 10 minutes
+  starting at 1PM, 1:10PM, 1:20PM etc.  
 
+  Fixed timers are the equivalent of unix cron's comma syntax e.g. "2 * * *" and interval
+  timers are the / syntax e.g. "*/5 * * *".
+
+  Default timer_type is interval.
