Before i re-engineer the wheel has anyone found a great library to do cron like jobs on KTOR?

I’d started to do it, but didn’t finish yet: GitHub - Scogun/kcron-jobs: KCron Recurring Actions

val scheduledEventFlow = flow{
  while(true){
    delay(5.minutes)
    emit(event())
  }
}

scheduledEventFlow.onEach{ doScheduledJob() }.launchIn(scope)

Do you need anything else?

What if you need to run some event last day of every month?

You can use http://www.quartz-scheduler.org/ for example

It look like “KCron” targets Android. Referencing Android libs in a server application would be at least uncommon.

For as server application something like Quartz would be a better fit. It does not only offer a lot of scheduling features but is also able to run in a cluster to avoid down times.
