This is a quick idea that I had to help make services a bit more useful.

Right now they can be used to either loop through the Service::run() method continuously or subscribe to events that execute a method when the event is triggered.

What I would like to do is add some functions that allow methods to be called at certain times.

For example, in the services init() method you could call something like:

$this->delay('myTestMethod', 60);

This will call the method only once in 60 seconds from now.

Or:

$this->schedule('myTestMethod', 'today 5pm');
$this->schedule('myTestMethod', 'next friday 2pm');

These will call the method at 5pm today then next friday at 2pm. This can use the \Hazaar\Date() object (and in turn the strtotime() function) to convert text to a date.

Or we can use the cron format, such as:

$this->cron('myTestMethod', '0 17 * * 1-5');

The method myTestMethod will execute at 5pm Mondays through Fridays.
