Comment on [AIP] I've been working on the perfect UI for cron and supervisor for several months now. Tell me what you think.

single line

here’s a single line for you which creates a one-shot service+timer in one go, suspending the system in 4 hours:

systemd-run --on-active=4h --unit=poweroff-after-4h /usr/bin/systemctl suspend

If you want it to run repeatedly, simply replace –on-active with –on-calendar=“*-*-* 04:00:00” for example.

thank you. this creates it, but is there a way to view or edit its current configuration in a similar format? and this is not persisted, is it?

  If you inspect the generated timer you see the same format in the OnCalendar line.
  
  What do you mean by persisted? The service and timer will both be there as long as the timer doesn’t end. Which it won’t in my example.
  
  If you want to copy it for later reference, you can simply copy the files.

    I mean saved to a file so that it will still be there after reboot

    Yeah, but that’s an easy one to parse, if you really need it.
    
    I’m pretty sure if you use OnCalendar it will still be there after a reboot. Let me check.
