Ok, I indeed got some while doing tests for my /var/spool/cron/crontabs problem. I finally settled to generate a kind of 'transient' service that does a "daemon-reload ; restart cront.target" _only_ if this path doesn't exist; and it iself contains a "ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty=/var/spool/cron/crontabs" to avoid needless daemon-reload. The twist: on the second run of the generator, this path now _does_ exist; so this service doesn't generate itself again. At first, I had used 'ExecStartPost=' for the "restart part" ; but the .service simply vanish during the daemon-reload and can never finish. (this behaves like a self-modifying shell script) Now I do this, it turns the ExecStart in a kind of "atomic" operation: ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/bin/systemctl daemon-reload ; /bin/systemctl try-restart cron.target" https://github.com/systemd-cron/systemd-cron/blob/master/src/bin/systemd-crontab-generator#L471 > Generators really really shouldn't talk to any other services, and > this means for logging they should log to /dev/kmsg or suchlike.
