How do I schedule a function one time in a future?

[Doppy]

I need to schedule a function one time in a a certain future. I use this:

var timeout=setTimeout(function(){

			function();
			console.log("UNO");
		}, 10000);
		 clearTimeout(timeout);

But I read in the console the value "UNO" immediatly, and not after 10000 ms. Anyone can help me and suggest me how can I resolve this problem?

You don't need clearTimeout. Just do this

setTimeout(function () {
    callSomeOtherFunction();
    console.log('UNO');
}, 10000);

@baris Does it exist some method with node that I can use to schedule a function in a future. For example, my code is not a good solution because, If I must restart server , I lose the timeout. What do you suggest?

[baris]

If you need to handle server restarts you would have to save some data in the database, like the timestamp you want the function to be executed, so after a restart you can check that value and run the function.

You may also want to consider using cron.
