Later.js execute Function on Schedule?

I am going through the Later.js docs and it documents how to set the schedule very well - but doesn't show how to execute the function once you've done so.

So if I have

function logit(){
console.log('it is done');
}

And I want it to run once a day - Where in here do I inject logit?:

var cron = '15 10 * * ? *';
  var s = later.parse.cron(cron);

  later.schedule(s).next(10);

Their documentation does not make this very clear, but later.setInterval takes a schedule as it's second argument.

The examples for this usage are available at http://bunkat.github.io/later/execute.html

so to complete your example, 

function logit(){
   console.log('it is done');
}

var cron = '15 10 * * ? *';
var s = later.parse.cron(cron);
later.setInterval(logit, s);

hope this helps.

You need to use the setInterval and setTimeout functions to execute code with schedule:

later.setInterval(logit, s);
