How to make functions execute on a node.js timer?

Question

Node.js

I need to do something like a reminder to run a script in node.js at a certain time.
setTimeout will not work, because you can't set a large amount of time there.
there are cron modules, but if you suddenly restart the script, then all crons will disappear.
How can it be implemented?

Answer 1

linux crontab if on linux. Otherwise, you need to look for what can pull the script on the timer with a sufficient degree of reliability.

Answer 2

сделать функцию, которая может определить настал ли час Ч и дергать ее раз в минуту.
а вообще, как указал RidgeA, возможно стоит рассмотреть системные планировщики для описанной задачи.
