Job scheduling service library for flex (similar to quartz in java)

I am searching for a flex library for job schedul开发者_运维问答ing. I know the Timer API, but this is not exactly what I am searching for. Here is (one of) my usecase for my AIR application:

• Try to ping to website xyz every 15 minutes
• Every first monday of a month try connect to website abcdefg
• ..

So I am searching for a library like quartz in java, just a small sweet library for executing cron(like) jobs.

I hope someone can help me :)

Flex is used to build client side tools. It is not a service that runs constantly. While you can set up the timer to do something like connect to a web site every fifteen minutes, it will only work if the application is up and running. For something like that, you're best bet is getting a push server in place, such as LiveCycle or GraniteDS and pushing data to the server when needed.

You can also write some logic to connect to a web site on the first Monday of a month.

All that said, neither of these would if the application is not running. I do not thing Flex is the appropriate tool for cron-like jobs.

I would suggest researching elsewhere.
