Run now function for recurring task

[rafaelhofmann]

Hi,

We have many recurring tasks to import data into our database. We are building an admin frontend to display the status (information like last execution, etc) of each recurring task. The missing feature on that frontend is a button "Execute now". The button would trigger the task to be executed now. After the one time execution the task should be scheduled again according to the original schedule.

Something like scheduler.runOnce(taskName : String) would be really nice.

Hi! I like your use-case, building a UI. Some of the methods on SchedulerClient was intended for that purpose, but I never got around to implementing one myself. I think you should be able to achieve what you want using the existing method scheduler.reschedule(TaskInstanceId.of(taskName, id), Instant.now())? After it has run, it will evaluate the Schedule and set next execution time accordingly (which will likely be the same time as it had prior to you pressing the "Execute now" button).

That was exactly what we were looking for. We managed to get the execute now function to work with the reschedule method.
Also, thank you very much for creating and maintaining this library! We were able to replace Quartz and your library is a lot easier to handle.

Excellent 👍
Let me know if there is any other challenges with making a gui for db-scheduler
