    I thought the same, but didn’t we already have things like chron syntax for this? Systemd didn’t have to build its own library.

      Systemd’s method is more powerful than Cron syntax.

        Aight, didn’t know that. I cannot yet imagine any scheduled task that would require anything more advanced than cron (or a similar standalone syntax), but I’ll just trust you with that one.

      Can you tell Cron to catch up on the things that should’ve happened but didn’t because the system was off?
