Just learned of timers the other day, but I’m a cron guy, anybody out there using timers? Anything I’m missing out on?

    You can do the same with cron btw depending on the OS(?). At least on debian systems. I think its @poweroff or @reboot if I recall correctly.

      It’s more than just power state, you can also toggle based on the state of other units (which you could chain normally too, but not time based) so you could start a service 10 minutes after another service has ran to completion, or after it’s died, etc.
