Feature description (Mandatory)

CALL apoc.periodic.repeat("RETURN 1/rand()", 60, {tolerateErrors: true})

Considered alternatives

Have another periodic task that checks if the desired task still exists and if it doesn't re-creates it

How this feature can improve the project?

Some periodic tasks may fail intermittently. It's often not desired that the task will just stop running if that happens.
