One addition to the above: note that "at"'s queue is maintained persistently, while timers created transiently with "systemd-run" are lost on the next reboot.

That is, when would I use such an option? Technically, any options accepted in systemd.timer are possible: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.timer.html#Options For instance, RandomizedDelaySec= might be an interesting one you might want to use. AccuracySec= is also one you potentially want to look into, if you care about the accuracy of the time at which your command will run.

Take a look at systemd-run and, in particular, options such as --on-active=, --on-calendar= and --timer-property=, which allow you to set a .timer option on demand for a single one-off command. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-run.html#--on-active= I hope this helps!

[systemd-devel] at replacement
I know systemd can replace cron. Do folks use it to replace "at", too? I know it *can* - with two files per "at" entry and then enabling and starting the timer. Is there an easier with to replace "at" with systemd than creating two files and enabling and starting the timer? Thanks for any info! -m ___ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
