I am really sorry for this post as this may sound like a trivial one,
but honestly the timer topic is difficult to understand for me (at
least the time format).
I am looking to run a service twice a day, never mind the time. I
understand I must use OnCalendar, but I have no idea for the rest.
You may find it more convenient to use the other On* directives.
For example:
OnBootSec=1h
OnUnitActiveSec=12h
Thank you for all these answers. In fact, without having a look at my
emails, I finally found this solution (which is correct accordingly
what I read):
OnUnitActiveSec=12h
Do I have to add:
Persistent=true
NO
"Persistent=true" is needed, when critical task executing was missed in some
reason. By default Persistent=no, so, you may not to specify it in your .timer file
explicitly. Otherwise, yes, you need to specify Persistent=true
in your .timer file explicitly.
and an OnBootSec entry ?
It's useful, if you wish to execute your task, when computer (server) is
after reboot or being off.
will trigger the associated service an hour after booting the system, and
every 12 hours therafter. Take a look at the RandomizedDelaySec= and
AccuracySec= directives too, to further specify how accurate the timer
should be.
