How to schedule cron tab if time is past/expired. about croner HOT 2 CLOSED

Normally,missed jobs is out of scope for a pure cron-style scheduler, but I see that you use CronJob with a specific timestamp - I am considering to support this in croner.

In this specific case I would recommend you to use a simpler approach, that does not rely on the cron library to throw errors.

Something like:

if(response[idx].endDate < new Date()) {
   // Immediately run the stuff, without using a cron library
} else {
   // Create a new cron job that execute in the future
   let job = new Cron(pattern, () => { /* stuff to run */ });
}

But as said, i will consider implementing one-off-scheduling using a single point i time. Follow progress of #4

It seems it is better to have your own setTimeout logic rather than any other open source .😅
