Uch, you have no idea what you are talking about.
There is (apart from spawning an entity) no other way to get the same effects.
Spawning an entity is more prone to errors, and will make it needlessly complicated.

why does that mean I have no idea what I'm talking about?
I didn't say it wouldn't be more complicated than a set_task, and you already mentioned yourself that you can spawn an entity as another method.
he did say he's going to use set_task to take a snapshot every 10 minutes, thus it's one of the points covered in hawk's tutorial.
If you mean that it's totally pointless for this type of plugin, then I agree with you. If it were me, I would stick with set_task for something that occurs every 10 minutes, but the point of my statement is so that he knows there are other options that are less expensive than set_task for future references.
