Thank you for this. I had a coworker trying to explain and debug a basic "hello world" and he was not as succinct or detailed as your description. I was able to debug my process, and feel I have a more grounded path forward now.
Hello there, your video helped me a lot! I just want to add that I had to install "gedit" before using it, and then for the USER section in the service, I was not successful running the service because mine was protected with a password. So I changed USER to "root" Thanks for the tutorial !
OnBootSec=5min Would start the service 5 mins after boot, regardless of where you install it ( in graphical or in timers ). OnActiveSec=5min Would start the service 5mins from when it was activated. So if you install it under graphical target, then 5 mins from the graphical target.
good video, I need a timer for a script that should be executed at least 6 times a day from Mon - Sun, the times should be chosen randomly and change randomly every week again so it should be for example. Every Sun new random schedule. Do you habe an idea hot to solve this withe systemd.timer or Bash ? Thanks for you Help
You should really make your application windows larger and the font larger so that it is easier to read. Why have so much of the desktop background showing when you could be displaying your content more prominently? You can also use systemd's --user flag and run services/timers as user services.
thanks for sharing, i found systemd timer consumes a lot of cpu time when running commands for example every 10s, in this case, i use " whie true ; do script ; sleep 10 ; done" and start it with systemd service.
I just watched your dimension 3000 video with puppy linux. Im playing around with that exact pc messing around with mint xfce. Do you still use that pc for anything?
Haha, that Dimension 3000 is currently sitting unplugged over 800 miles away from me, so I can't say that I use it regularly. I'm fortunate enough to have at least a couple of more powerful spare machines to play around with at this point (my ex-main rig that I built near the beginning of this channel is now an 8-year-old spare machine, for instance-- I still break that one out about once a year.) The last time I tried to use the Dimension, I got it out to try installing FreePBX on it, but since the 3000 is a 32-bit machine and FreePBX is 64-bit only, I wasn't able to use it for that purpose. Awesome that you're still finding use for one, though!
Tune into the NOTS 8-Year Anniversary Stream this Saturday, June 13th at 4pm CDT! Watch at live.nots.co or here on CZcams.
this is by far the best systemd service video i can find
thx
Just discovered your channel , exactly kind of contents i needed , subscribed!

Excellent! Thanks so much. Well explained.
Awesome video, thanks, very clear explanation 👍

Thanks for the tutorial !
Thanks for this. I didn't know how much I didn't know about systemd timers.
Such a great video and the explanations of each file and option were even better! Thank you very much!!
Really helpful, thanks!
Great tutorial!
Simple and clear, thanks
Nice video, but you should increase the font size of the terminal and the editor in such demonstrations.
Do you have, or will there be a tutorial on how to create a droplet containing some kind of docker project with a script on digital ocean?
This was in perfect time as I have some python scripts I want to get running on different intervals! Big thank you, Jacob!
Well explained; enough detail to get yourself going, and no useless overhead; unlike systemd. ;-)
👍 nice example, thank you! 🙏
OnBootSec=5min
Would start the service 5 mins after boot, regardless of where you install it ( in graphical or in timers ).
OnActiveSec=5min
Would start the service 5mins from when it was activated. So if you install it under graphical target, then 5 mins from the graphical target.
Well done! Really helpful!!! :)

Thank you so luch

If I recall correctly, there is a program that converts crontabs into systemd timers too.
You should really make your application windows larger and the font larger so that it is easier to read. Why have so much of the desktop background showing when you could be displaying your content more prominently?
You can also use systemd's --user flag and run services/timers as user services.
Greate tutorial

hey, are you saying that systemd timers use more cpu than a regular cron job?

What ever happened to crond?
My eyes not as good as yours - increase your terminal window and font size.
