I want run a function at certern time everyday .

the programe is loop and will check every 1 minutes.

I will read record in database and get one time such as "08:00" for another is "09:00"

and I want to run function when it is "08:00" or it is "09:00" once.

then I will sleep(60*1000) (1 minutes)

how to do it?

do not miss it and do not run twice?

    You can create background tasks in ASP.Net Core to execute services in the background. Refer to the following article to understand more about this.

    Ideally speaking, I recommend you look into Azure functions. "Azure functions" is a serverless solution that will help you to write, deploy and manage your functions easily.

    I recommend working with Quartz library which takes time to master. Check out the documentation and FAQ's.

    Couple Quartz with say a SQL-Server database (see sample scripts) where one table is for telling your code designed with Quartz when to run, did it run. Then add logging (which is part of the library or use your own library) to text file and perhaps sending email messages on successful run.
