But this is what I get. I just want a service that powers off machine using this method. The crontab method of shutting down the machine worked before, but now fails too. I don't have any crontab entries anymore to make sure it does not affect/compete with systemd-timer. > > > > [olivares@fedora user]$ crontab -l > > [olivares@fedora user]$ > > > Please be so kind as to share your solution. I will report back with one that works, but with a caveat. I still need to fix a problem with display. The monitor goes to sleep and I need to wake it up. If it is up, the service and timers created work great. a dalarm service and dalarm.timer : [olivares@fedora ~]$ cd .config/systemd/user/ [olivares@fedora user]$ ls dalarm.service dalarm.timer default.target.wants timers.target.wants [olivares@fedora user]$ cat dalarm.timer [Unit] Description=Schedule a message every 1 minute RefuseManualStart=no # Allow manual starts RefuseManualStop=no # Allow manual stops [Timer] #Execute job if it missed a run due to machine being off Persistent=true #Run 120 seconds after boot for the first time #OnBootSec=120 #Run every 1 minute thereafter #OnUnitActiveSec=60 #File describing job to execute #Unit=schedule-test.service # run every day OnCalendar=Mon-Fri *-*-* 08:42:00 OnCalendar=Mon-Fri *-*-* 09:52:00 OnCalendar=Mon-Fri *-*-* 10:40:00 OnCalendar=Mon-Fri *-*-* 11:28:00 OnCalendar=Mon-Fri *-*-* 12:16:00 OnCalendar=Mon-Fri *-*-* 12:57:00 OnCalendar=Mon-Fir *-*-* 14:40:00 OnCalendar=Mon-Fri *-*-* 15:28:00 OnCalendar=Mon-Fri *-*-* 16:17:00 [Install] WantedBy=timers.target [olivares@fedora user]$ cat dalarm.service [Unit] Description=A job to test the systemd scheduler & play music to prepare for next class [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/home/olivares/bin/dalarm.sh [Install] WantedBy=default.target [olivares@fedora user]$ cat ~/bin/dalarm.sh #!/bin/sh # # export DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/xset dpms force on; #/usr/bin/xset -dpms; /usr/bin/xterm -display :0 -bg black -fg white \ -e /usr/local/bin/mplayer -really-quiet -shuffle -playlist ~/.playlist & PID=$! /usr/bin/sleep 360 /usr/bin/kill $PID #/usr/bin/xset +dpms; /usr/bin/xset dpms force off; [olivares@fedora user]$ cat ~/bin/dalarm.sh #!/bin/sh # # export DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/xset dpms force on; #/usr/bin/xset -dpms; /usr/bin/xterm -display :0 -bg black -fg white \ -e /usr/local/bin/mplayer -really-quiet -shuffle -playlist ~/.playlist & PID=$! /usr/bin/sleep 360 /usr/bin/kill $PID #/usr/bin/xset +dpms; /usr/bin/xset dpms force off; ----------------------------------- The script works well, but I need to wake up the screen which it does not do :( This is why I asked the other question and I had to run the command to see if X11 was running or wayland. It is wayland so the old commands do not work. I have it blank after 2 minutes, and if I am not using the computer the dalarm service does not play the music. Thanks to all who have helped/guided me to find a working solution(conversion to systemd-timer for a crontab entry). The one for shutdown I have removed it because it did not work, maybe because there are already services with the same names? I will turn off machine manually in the meantime. If someone has a solution, I would appreciate it very much. I just need a simple shutdown/poweroff at 4:20 ---> 16:20:00 which is the end of the day and it is (Good place/time to stop the machine) Best Regards, Antonio _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
