If you get an instance of [`GatewayContext`](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.16/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/gateway/model/GatewayContext.html) (search the forums, I’m being deliberately vague here), you can get the shared [`ExecutionManager`](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.16/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/execution/ExecutionManager.html), which allows you to register a [`SelfSchedulingRunnable`](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.16/com/inductiveautomation/ignition/common/execution/SelfSchedulingRunnable.html) which has the same capability Kevin described built in. It would require some moderately advanced scripting know-how, but your scheduled task would also show up on Status → Execution.
