Dear kind Fedora users, I have a crontab file that I use to play some files about 3 minutes before bell rings between classes. I had to install anacron with dnf command. I have seen emails where some folks recommend systemd timers. How can I convert a crontab # [olivares@fedora Downloads]$ crontab -l # min hour day-of-month month day-of-week command # 0-59 0-23 1-31 1-12 0-6 0=sun 1=mon #50 04 * * 1-5 ~/.xalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 #50 04 * * 0,6 ~/.salarm >/dev/null 2>&1 #59 09 * * 0,6 ~/.salarm >/dev/null 2>&1 #00 07 * * 1-5 ~/.xalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 42 08 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 52 09 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 40 10 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 28 11 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 16 12 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 57 12 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 40 14 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 28 15 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 17 16 * * 1-5 ~/.dalarm >/dev/null 2>&1 #30 16 * * 1-5 ~/.lalarm > /dev/null 2>&1 25 16 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/poweroff >/dev/null 2>&1 # to systemd timers? An easy idiot proof way. The .dalarm script calls mplayer and plays from a playlist. # [olivares@fedora Downloads]$ sudo systemctl list-timers [sudo] password for olivares: NEXT LEFT LAST PASSED UN> Tue 2022-04-05 15:13:39 CDT 1min 46s left n/a n/a sy> Tue 2022-04-05 15:38:11 CDT 26min left n/a n/a dn> Wed 2022-04-06 00:00:00 CDT 8h left Tue 2022-04-05 05:34:07 CDT 9h ago lo> Wed 2022-04-06 00:00:00 CDT 8h left Tue 2022-04-05 05:34:07 CDT 9h ago un> Wed 2022-04-06 00:34:55 CDT 9h left Tue 2022-04-05 05:34:07 CDT 9h ago pl> Sun 2022-04-10 01:00:00 CDT 4 days left Tue 2022-04-05 05:34:07 CDT 9h ago ra> Mon 2022-04-11 00:20:16 CDT 5 days left Tue 2022-04-05 05:34:07 CDT 9h ago fs> 7 timers listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive timers, too. # I have read https://opensource.com/article/20/7/systemd-timers and https://www.maketecheasier.com/use-systemd-timers-as-cron-replacement/ but have not tried it out. Any help on this is appreciated. I want to test it out.
