I want to have an LC app running on a computer doing nothing but watching the time. At predetermined times, I then want it to run a command. A call to an API on a website.
My $0.02, FWIW: it this is really all your app is doing, and the times are every fee hours or days, rather than every few seconds, I would use the computer's built in scheduler to invoke your app, rather than have it running continuously and watching the time.
I have a number of things like this - LC apps which are launched by schedule. On Windows, the Windows scheduler (I generally use a batch script which launches the app in this case); on Mac or Linux, use cron. I find this more reliable, easier to update etc.
