SIP: Clock Trigger
I want something to execute on start, and never again (0 0 5 31 2 ?)
Would this be a supported feature? Some schedulers error out on runaway dates.

Could you expound on what you want to do here? It seems like you could basically get this effect with e.g.
interval = "infinity" # or... "999 years"
on_start = true
...but the specific point of time "on start" is sort of a weird concept for Spin.
interval = "infinity" works!
I want "on start" to run some code that registers callbacks with another service before starting my app. In the future, I also want to do some template rendering before running the services. I could also write a script in JS/Python to do this but it would be convenient to use the framework.
Obviously this isn't quite a "microservice". Maybe I can work around this if doesn't make sense😆

This is an interesting one - sounds like you're basically doing a sort of service discovery registration. Would you mind giving a little more detail here?

Depending on exactly what you need, you might be interested in wizer. I think we'll probably bake it (or something equivalent) into spin eventually.
service discovery registration
I'm actually registering a discord command. Right now, it does it on the event that's meant for ping (😬)

Thanks! I'll look into that

Makes sense. I'm mostly just trying to get a sense of whether there is a more general use for an "on start" entrypoint, independent of this clock trigger. This seems like a pretty good example.
