| The RPC method takes two parameters: | ||
|
|
||
| - `date` - An [ISO 8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) date and time and optional timezone offset. |

Is date preferred to letting the caller specify a number of seconds or something?
Wondering what is the simplest for developers.

- Notice that we have minute rather than second level precision.
- Conversion to ISO strings is a single call to
date.toISOString(). - What happens to seconds when daylight time change happens?
- What happens to seconds when user travels between timezones. local-time vs UTC distinction is an edge case here, where local-time changes while UTC one doesn't

Wondering if we should somehow merge this with cronjobs 🤔 Otherwise, we'll have two permissions that do extremely similar things 😄

You mean like using endowment:cronjobs and just allowing two new RPC methods? Your call - I'm okay with either way.

I think we eventually want to rename cronjobs to background events, but doing so will be a breaking change.
