Hi,
I looked for answers for this in the forum but got no where, so looking to see 
if someone has a solid answer for this.
I'm creating a cross platform FTP app with polling requirements.
I need to allow the user to specify a start and end time, and have the app poll 
the FTP site for revised files every 15 minutes during that time.
In short, I need to be able to execute a method at, say, 6PM. I can take it 
from there.
I could just start a timer, and every 2 minutes see if the time has come, but 
I'm not sure how efficient it would be.
Is there a built-in way to trigger a method? Preferably inside RB or using plug 
in.
Thanks!
