Knew ive looked into that, getting rid of cron-etc and using timers, remember was a reason i backed off too, that being apps-etc which might rely on cron, the person in this mentions a/one solution.

Though such is bound to change as more n more is converted to take advantage of systemd's features. Guy also notes systemd already has an easy means of seeing if any timers fail.
- Code: Select all
systemctl list-units --failed
Cool, occurs to me implementing the hair brainedness outlined above into cron jobs could be good practice, something that's working now might not keep working w system changes, reconfigs, upgrades etc. Probably already plenty of means to handle ana/cron logging, only a random thought and yeppers still going to end up ditching cron-etc in favor of timers here.
