防止在页面刷新后重置JavaScript代码并重新开始

Question

I have a rails app where in my application.js I have a setInterval() and inside of it an AJAX call that send a post request every minute to my controller in order to perform a create action.

setInterval(function(){

        $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url: "/post",
          data: { parameter: value },
          success: function (data) {
             //some logic
           }       
        });

    }, 60000);

My problem is that if the client refresh its page every 30 sec (for exemple) the setInterval() set for 1 minute will never be triggered.

Is there a way to make my javascript code not dependent of any page refresh so that if different users arrive at different time they get to see the same thing. I guess it has to do with cookies or local storage but I have no idea how to implement that in a reliable way.

In other word, I would like my js code to be run server side without being disrupted by page refreshes or client request which keep reseting my code.

Thank you for your guidance.

You can use https://github.com/javan/whenever

every 1.minute do # 1.minute 1.day 1.week 1.month 1.year is also supported
  runner "MyModel.some_process"
  rake "my:rake:task"
  command "/usr/bin/my_great_command"
end
