systemd Re: Find the path of a shell command

[Weatherby,Gerard]

Only the first one or two require more work. The rest are your copy-pastes from the last time you did one.

Typically I only have to changed descriptions, the executable in the *service and the timing in the *timer. They’re lot more readable and flexible than the cronjobs.

   =====
   Lately I've been using systemd timers instead of cronjobs. They are easier
   to debug (journalctl) but require a bit more work to write. Systemd is
   available on Fedora & friends and Debian based systems, maybe more. It has
   no builtin MAILTO. I use an OnFailure stanza to send a Slack message with
   curl instead.
