CRON Scheduler

[BenRutlandWeb]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The ability to simply create scheduled tasks.

Describe the solution you'd like A CRON-like scheduler to wrap wp_schedule_event.

Describe alternatives you've considered Native WP functions, custom CRON tasks

Additional context

• Create the next schedules time with: https://github.com/dragonmantank/cron-expression
• Use wp_schedule_single_event instead of the repeated schedule, so no need to filter schedule "intervals"
• See Laravel's implementation for hourly, weekly etc. https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/8.x/src/Illuminate/Console/Scheduling/ManagesFrequencies.php

A very rough version of the scheduler

Is the name required? As the events are non-recurring, a UUID could be generated for each job? That way a closure could be passed. OR, will it create many events for the same timing?

Yes, otherwise the same event will be registered on every page load.
