If you have a World, there is protocol for scheduling an Alarm.... Use
the message finder for schedule...
For truly headless apps, I wish this were a function of the
ProcessScheduler, and I am actually modifying my DispatchQueue framework to
allow for scheduled alarms, for this very reason, but it does overlap a lot
with the foreground Morphic Alarms.
