There is an alternative to cron: systemd.timer See my previous post: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/4WZ2QUP7XYV7AJDKL4QBMV7KBD4ALCMI/ In your case you will have to use the service manager of your account instead of the system one. In short, use "systemctl --user" "journalctl --user". Assuming you write a rsync-ietf.service file, you can then use: ## Status of this rsync: systemctl --user status rsync-ietf.service ## Logs since midnight: journalctl --user --since 00:00 -u rsync-ietf.service I can give more help if you want to use that. -- francis _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
