  How to Use Systemd Timers as a Cron Replacement - Make Tech Easier
  
  from Casey Houser
  
  As a Linux user, you’re probably familiar with cron. It has worked as the go-to Unix job scheduler for many years. Now many users are seeing Systemd timers begin to replace cron’s dominance. This article presents the basics of setting up your own systemd timer and making sure it’s running properly on your system.

  It's an improvement on cron.*
  
  *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.

  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.

  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 sense

  Do you actually use it over cron? I bet it runs bash scripts more reliable

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

  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.
