How to avoid quartz starting when grail application start

Question

I have a simple application in GRAILS which use Quartz2 plugin. In the job file I have: ``` static triggers = { simple repeatCount: 0 // execute job once in 5 seconds cron cronExpression: '0 15 2 * * ?' } def execute() { if (Environment.current == Environment.PRODUCTION) do something... } ``` Everything works fine in this case, if it's not in production the trigger is ignored. Now the question is simple, if I start the application in the production the jobs starts as soon as the grails fire up. I wish to avoid the job running asap the app starts,but only when is correctly set in the cronExpression. Any idea? UPDATE: At the end I put this line in config.groovy: ``` environments { development { grails.logging.jul.usebridge = true grails.plugin.quartz2.autoStartup = false } production { grails.logging.jul.usebridge = false } } ``` Now it seems not to start at the bootstrap I have to do a couple of test more and I let you know. thank you UPDATE2: Ok now the schedule doesn't start at all,…

Accepted Answer

By setting up `conf\QuartzConfig.groovy`, you can control which environments that job sceduling automaically starts. For example:

```
quartz {
    autoStartup = true
    jdbcStore = false
    waitForJobsToCompleteOnShutdown = true
}

environments {
    development {
        quartz {
            autoStartup = false
        }
    }
}
```

In your `jobs` class, you can also set a `startDelay` on your trigger

```
static triggers = {
    cron name: 'myTrigger', startDelay: 5000, cronExpression: '0 15 2 * * ?'
}
```
