The `PeriodicEffectorPolicy` calls an effector with a set of arguments at a specified time and date. The following example
calls a `resize` effector to resize a cluster up to 10 members at 8am and then down to 1 member at 6pm.
The `PeriodicEffectorPolicy` calls an effector with a set of arguments at a specified time and date. The policy monitors the
sensor configured by `start.sensor` and will only start when this is set to `true`. The default sensor checked is `service.isUp`,
so that the policy will not execute the effector until the entity is started. The following example calls a `resize` effector
to resize a cluster up to 10 members at 8am and then down to 1 member at 6pm.

- org.apache.brooklyn.policy.action.ScheduledEffectorPolicy

The `ScheduledEffectorPolicy` calls an effector after a specified interval has expired. The interval can be triggered from a sensor, `SERVICE_UP` by default.
The `ScheduledEffectorPolicy` calls an effector at a specific time. The policy monitors the sensor configured by `start.sensor`
and will only execute the effector at the specified time if this is set to `true`.

There are two modes of operation, one based solely on policy configuration where the effector will execute at the time set
using the `time` key or after the duration set using the `wait` key, or by monitoring sensors. The policy monitors the
`scheduler.invoke.now` sensor and will execute the effector immediately when its value changes to `true`.
When the `scheduler.invoke.at` sensor changes, it will set a time in the future when the effector should be executed.

The following example calls a `backup` effector every night at midnight.
