Trigger scheduler once after deployment

This is an interesting use case - when you setup a scheduler to fire every 4 hours - the first time it will count 4 hours.  See if you can modify the code to fire once 1 when its activated.

Yes that what i thought, but then it will block all other components on startup because its maybe running for 30 minutes. So no chance to do it this way. I have to create a new Service and trigger it by a custom scheduler.

Thanks for all replies.

I don't think that you need to do this. You can use the Scheduler API to immediately fire an event. But yes, you need to trigger that in an activate method.

So would it come down to the example I provided? (More or less)

I guess so. But please validate, that the case of some activations/deactivations of the component in a short time is handled properly :-) Depending on your deployment processes this might happen.
