Execute Control Method on Server Start?

[Praetoriate]

Hello All!
We want to reboot our SMS modem after the GeoSCADA (server) restarts. Currently able to do this on a modbus point with a button in ViewX, but would like to have some kind of automation in the server to 'push the button' automatically 30s after GeoSCADA starts on the server.
Is there a place to set 'on startup' methods?

Only other idea I have had is to write a little logic object that has a 30s timer against a count up trigger that only triggers the control method the once, but then there's a logic object executing all the time that wont ever do anything after the server starts?

I'd suggest avoiding anything like a 'timer' around this.  Just using the Server "Time Went Main" is probably the best.  Have a DateTime variable.  Then some server-side logic that checks if the "Time Went Main" doesn't equal your DateTime variable... in that event do some stuff, and set the DateTime variable to the new "Time Went Main"..

Have the ST run every minute.  It's a pretty quick check, so execution overhead is minimal.  Changing logic config (to minimise executions) will have significantly greater impact on overall DB performance, so avoid changing that...

Thank you! Got something similar setup and working.
