Akka Quartz Scheduler with/as cluster singleton

[Gary Malouf]

We use Akka Quartz Scheduler project today to run recurring jobs on each 'node' in our cluster.  I now have requirements for jobs that need to be reliably scheduled/executed once per time period across a cluster and I do not believe this project can quickly be extended for that use case.

In previous jobs, I've used Chronos or Quartz for this functionality.  I'm wondering if there is a known pattern in Akka world for a distributed, cron-like job scheduler.

Hi Gary,

There has been a few discussions before on the mailing list touching this subject, maybe one of those might
