HI,
We are using kotlin with ktor server side.
Is there a simple way to schedule a task? In spring I just use @scheduler annotation.
any examples?

You could use Arrow Fx Schedule, and Coroutines.

```fun Application.task(): Job = launch {
   Schedule.spaced&lt;Unit&gt;(1.minutes).repeat {
     // Run task
   }
}```

It has a wide set of operators for building complex Schedules. <https://arrow-kt.io/docs/apidocs/arrow-fx-coroutines/arrow.fx.coroutines/-schedule/>

Do I have to wrap it in run blocking?
```runBlocking {
            Schedule.spaced&lt;Unit&gt;(5.minutes).repeat {
                <http://log.info|log.info> { "here" }
            }
        }```

You should use `Application` from `Ktor` which is a `CoroutineScope`, and then you can `launch` the `Job` with the same lifecycle as your Ktor server.

```fun Application.task(): Job = launch {
   Schedule.spaced&lt;Unit&gt;(1.minutes).repeat {
     // Run task
   }
}```

`Application` here is `Ktor` `Application`
