Additional details: I can see in the apt-daily.timer file [Timer] OnCalendar=*-*-* 6,18:00 RandomizedDelaySec=12h Persistent=true and it seems that systemctl --system daemon-reload >/dev/null || true sometimes has the effect to execute the service immediately, thus ignoring the randomization. If randomization is currently ignored for some reason, there should at least be an option to preserve the randomization at the reload of the daemons. The observed behavior of systemd does not seem to be documented in the systemd.timer(5) man page. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
