There's already a systemd-cron generator, which consumes crontab and cron.d files and generates .timer units. (And .timer is a perfectly compatible configuration file format: it's compatible with .service file syntax. ;) Which is actually rather useful, since you can then use all the same syntax to control the launched program.) - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
