I have a systemd timer that starts a service, and the service executes
a script that downloads data files once a day. Once the data files are
retrieved I don't need the timer for the remainder of the day.
However, I need the time again the next day.
Here are the two docs I found on scheduling a timer, but I was not
able to parse out the info I needed.
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.timer.html
and https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.time.html
.
How do I specify a timer that starts 6:00 AM every morning, fires once
an hour, and then stops for the day upon success of the download?
I think you only do "every hour 6:00 to XX:00" through systemd.timer and the rest through script logic – simply make the script exit if it finds today's data already having been downloaded.
