  1. An article detailing five lesser-known features of systemd timers, such as single-instance execution, second-resolution timing, monotonic events, manual triggering, and automatic reporting on failing services.

    • systemd Timers: Modern replacement for cron with more control, flexibility, and higher resolution.
    • One Instance at a Time: Automatically prevents multiple timer instances from running simultaneously to avoid resource conflicts.
    • Second-Resolution Timing: Enables one-second resolution (vs. cron's one-minute) by setting AccuracySec=1 in the timer file.
    • Monotonic Events: Triggers timers based on system events like boot-up (OnBootSec) or clock changes (OnClockChange).
    • Manually Trigger Timed Tasks: Launch timers and services manually for testing (sudo systemctl start name-of-your.timer or name-of-your.service).
    • Automatically Report on Failing Services: Use OnFailure directive in service files to send notifications upon failure, supporting multiple notification methods (e.g., email, Slack).
    • systemd-analyze Calendar: Normalizes dates and times for use in OnCalendar statements.
