FIY, systemd does not currently save timer stamps when run under --user: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=767086q I would recommend waiting for this to be fixed before moving jobs to ~/.config/systemd/user. After this is fixed, then yes, it would actually be much better. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
