@feld but then you just end up reimplementing systemd unless you only want a small subset of what timers can do because imo wakeup conditions/triggers, scopes/namespaces, robust service state tracking, notification and logging mechanisms etc. are part of what makes them appealing
i prefer them over cron because i'm not happy with just running commands and hoping for the best while manually having to ensure there are no race conditions and all the preconditions are also met
