Consider playing with the Gateway Context’s Execution Manager, which I believe is really a BasicExecutionEngine. That has a cron-style [schedule()](http://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition79/793/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/execution/impl/BasicExecutionEngine.html#schedule-java.lang.String-java.lang.Runnable-java.lang.String-) method.
