Why do you need systemd for this? What is wrong with cron?
Systemd timers can launch tasks with a lot more options than Cron
has. Dependencies and explicit ordering of tasks is actually one of
the big reasons systemd was created. Cron works fine for a lot of
things, and perhaps even for the task asked in the original email, but
systemd timers can do it just fine, plus you get all the extra bells
and whistles, such as resource management and output to the journal.
Are you grow up on MS windows? Should we forget everything about
unix?
MS unix is the way to go?
Maybe is time to switch to FreeBSD.
Please stop spreading FUD like this. There are other distros that
don't use systemd that would gladly have you.
