*if you like poorly documented daemons with multiple service files that take 5 times the time to set up.
I've never had an issue with cron. It's simple and it works.In conversation permalink -

Lol, it doesn't do anything except point to a service and tell it when to run. Certbot is a good example of one you probably have.In conversation permalink -

I looked at the arch wiki and other tutorials and nowhere do they say how to run a command or script with it. none of it makes senseIn conversation permalink -

Do you actually use it over cron? I bet it runs bash scripts more reliableIn conversation permalink -

No, I prefer Cron but I made one once for fun. The oncalendar format is a pita.In conversation permalink -

It works and it pairs nice with a service but it's more complicated and you have to reference documentation each time you use it.In conversation permalink
