repeating timer with "run now"

I have some piece of code that I want to run every x seconds ....but I
also want to be able to trigger a "run now" that will reset the
upcoming cycle.

I think I would know plenty of ways to implement this (ranging from
simple NSTimer to select() style signaling to threading with
conditions) but I am looking for the most elegant way - preferably
with GCD.

Scheduling a block is easy with GCD - but can you also notify that
block for immediate execution later on?

Just would love to hear opinions on how you would tackle this
admittedly easy problem the most elegant way.

cheers,
Torsten
