[snip] Was the given information sufficient for you to reconsider your position? Tbh, I'm not quite sure what kind of churn you expect from merging this change , but I'd be happy to further elaborate if there are still open questions. One particular point I missed to mention, is that .timer units with Persistent=true [1] handle systems which don't run 24/7 in a much nicer way. cron doesn't handle this at all. Regards, Michael [1] https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.timer.html#Persistent= -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
