|
|
"<code class="literal">.timer</code>" encodes information about
|
|
a timer controlled and supervised by systemd, for
|
|
timer-based activation.</p><p>This man page lists the configuration options
|
|
specific to this unit type. See
|
|
<a href="systemd.unit.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd.unit</span>(5)</span></a>
|
|
for the common options of all unit configuration
|
|
files. The common configuration items are configured
|
|
in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
|
|
timer specific configuration options are configured in
|
|
the [Timer] section.</p><p>For each timer file, a matching unit file must
|
|
exist, describing the unit to activate when the timer
|
|
elapses. By default, a service by the same name as the
|
|
timer (except for the suffix) is activated. Example: a
|
|
timer file <code class="filename">foo.timer</code> activates a
|
|
matching service <code class="filename">foo.service</code>. The
|
|
unit to activate may be controlled by
|
|
<code class="varname">Unit=</code> (see below).</p><p>Unless <code class="varname">DefaultDependencies=</code>
|
|
is set to <code class="option">false</code>, timer units will
|
|
implicitly have dependencies of type
|
|
<code class="varname">Conflicts=</code> and
|
|
<code class="varname">Before=</code> on
|
|
<code class="filename">shutdown.target</code>. These ensure
|
|
that timer units are stopped cleanly prior to system
|
|
shutdown. Only timer units involved with early boot or
|
|
late system shutdown should disable this
|
|
option.</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="idm274685223008"></a><h2 id="Options">Options<a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this headline" href="#Options">¶</a></h2><p>Timer files must include a [Timer] section,
|
|
which carries information about the timer it
|
|
defines. The options specific to the [Timer] section
|
|
of timer units are the following:</p><div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist"><dt id="OnActiveSec="><span class="term"><code class="varname">OnActiveSec=</code>, </span><span class="term"><code class="varname">OnBootSec=</code>, </span><span class="term"><code class="varname">OnStartupSec=</code>, </span><span class="term"><code class="varname">OnUnitActiveSec=</code>, </span><span class="term"><code class="varname">OnUnitInactiveSec=</code></span><a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this term" href="#OnActiveSec=">¶</a></dt><dd><p>Defines monotonic timers
|
|
relative to different starting points:
|
|
<code class="varname">OnActiveSec=</code> defines a
|
|
timer relative to the moment the timer
|
|
itself is
|
|
activated. <code class="varname">OnBootSec=</code>
|
|
defines a timer relative to when the
|
|
machine was booted
|
|
up. <code class="varname">OnStartupSec=</code>
|
|
defines a timer relative to when
|
|
systemd was first
|
|
started. <code class="varname">OnUnitActiveSec=</code>
|
|
defines a timer relative to when the
|
|
unit the timer is activating was last
|
|
activated. <code class="varname">OnUnitInactiveSec=</code>
|
|
defines a timer relative to when the
|
|
unit the timer is activating was last
|
|
deactivated.</p><p>Multiple directives may be
|
|
combined of the same and of different
|
|
types. For example, by combining
|
|
<code class="varname">OnBootSec=</code> and
|
|
<code class="varname">OnUnitActiveSec=</code>, it is
|
|
possible to define a timer that
|
|
elapses in regular intervals and
|
|
activates a specific service each
|
|
time.</p><p>The arguments to the directives
|
|
are time spans configured in
|
|
seconds. Example: "OnBootSec=50" means
|
|
50s after boot-up. The argument may
|
|
also include time units. Example:
|
|
"OnBootSec=5h 30min" means 5 hours and
|
|
30 minutes after boot-up. For details
|
|
about the syntax of time spans see
|
|
<a href="systemd.unit.html"><span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">systemd.unit</span>(5)</span></a>.</p><p>If a timer configured with
|
|
<code class="varname">OnBootSec=</code> or
|
|
<code class="varname">OnStartupSec=</code> is
|
|
already in the past when the timer
|
|
unit is activated, it will immediately
|
|
elapse and the configured unit is
|
|
started. This is not the case for
|
|
timers defined in the other
|
|
directives.</p><p>These are monotonic timers,
|
|
independent of wall-clock time and timezones. If the
|
|
computer is temporarily suspended, the
|
|
monotonic clock stops too.</p><p>If the empty string is assigned
|
|
to any of these options, the list of
|
|
timers is reset, and all prior
|
|
assignments will have no
|
|
effect.</p></dd><dt id="OnCalendar="><span class="term"><code class="varname">OnCalendar=</code></span><a class="headerlink" title="Permalink to this term" href="#OnCalendar=">¶</a></dt><dd><p>Defines realtime

specified, this value defaults to a

service that has the same name as the
