Thanks to all who have responded. I am trying it out, but I have it not working. I created a poweroff.service and poweroff.timer. [olivares@fedora ~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/poweroff.service # /etc/systemd/system/poweroff.service [Unit] Description = Poweroff maschine at 16:20 PM Mo-Fri [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=sudo systemctl poweroff [olivares@fedora ~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/poweroff. poweroff.service poweroff.timer [olivares@fedora ~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/poweroff.timer # /etc/systemd/system/poweroff.timer [Unit] Description=Poweroff maschine at 4:20 PM Mo-Fri [Timer] OnCalendar=Mon..Fri *-*-* 16:20:00 Persistent=true [Install] WantedBy=timers.target [olivares@fedora ~]$ and I test it and it did not work. (tested shutdown at 8:20 AM, have changed it to 16:20:00 which is 4:20 pm) What do I need to add? I had /usr/sbin/poweroff in a crontab, and it too failed. I get the following messages for attempting to debug.

This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl. Possible reasons for having this kind of units are: • A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's .wants/ or .requires/ directory. • A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has a requirement dependency on it. • A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer, D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...). • In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some instance name specified. Job for poweroff.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status poweroff.service" and "journalctl -xeu poweroff.service" for details.

[olivares@fedora ~]$ I have read the manuals, but I do need some help. With cron it was much easier to setup, but as cron(*may be depracated/or not available) I want to have the ability to have same functionality as before. I only need .dalarm to work, I do not need .salarm/.xalarm to work as they are commented out on crontab. But I will worry about this later, if I get poweroff service to work, I can proceed to try and find a working solution to the converting to systemd-timer.
