Creating a cron scheduler

You can create cron schedulers using the following flavours Unix, Cron4j and Quartz

CronScheduler
    .create(vertx, "0/1 * * * * ?", CronType.QUARTZ) //trigger every second
    .schedule(s ->
        System.out.println("timer triggered")
    );

CronScheduler
    .create(vertx, "0 * * * * ?") //trigger every minute
    .schedule(s -> {
        s.cancel();
        System.out.println("timer triggered and canceled");
    });
