Question

I have a big problem that is I have implemented a scheduler in my windows azure application that can execute a particular task in each day at 17.29. For the implementation I am using a third party tool that is Quartz. And I use following code to enable my scheduler

ISchedulerFactory schedFact = new StdSchedulerFactory();
IScheduler sched = schedFact.GetScheduler();
sched.Start();
JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail("mySendMailJob", typeof(SendMailJob));
Trigger trigger = TriggerUtils.MakeDailyTrigger(17, 29); 
trigger.Name = "mySendMailTrigger";
sched.ScheduleJob(jobDetail, trigger);

And I place this code in my application start.

My question is if I execute this code once then my scheduler start it working. Next time need not invoke. So how can I check if the scheduler is already invoked or not? If I place this code in application start each time execute the same code, that is totally useless. If there is any method. If anyone know please help me. I am using C#

This is a variation on the question “how to execute something only once”. I recommend to most folks to use a self electing controller pattern. I explain that in this response.
