again_at

Re-schedules the task to a new date/time. The task will run again at the new date/time, even if the task returns with an error.

It is only possible to use again_at within the callback of the parent task. If may however be used within a future or other closure, as long as this closure is nested within the tasks callback.

This function generates a change.
