What is the best way to implement a repetition every 2.5 hours?

Question

Node.js

Good afternoon, I need the server on the node to perform certain actions every 2.5 hours. But I don’t know how to do this, it seems to me that the option with ordinary timers is not the best.

Answer 1

Take some module and see - everything is done on setTimeout...

Answer 2

If you implement such calls in the application process itself via setTimeout (), then you have to take into account the fact that the process may abnormally terminate its work and be restarted.
For such large periods, it is better to pull a separate task-handler with the crown and not take a steam bath.
