Hey list, Are there any plans to enable waking the system from sleep upon some timer events defined in systemd units? By no means it should wake up on every timer. But it should be able to wake the system for specially labelled timer units and after finishing them put the system back to sleep (except some user activity has been detected).
My curiosity comes from the idea to have, for example, a backup job running each night. As an alternative I'd like systemd to catch up missed timers upon boot if they are labelled with some sort of importance and have not been run since the last successful schedule. Is that already possible? I know anachron has such capabilities, but since systemd has cron-like capabilities I'd rather like to completely move away from any sort of cron. As a rough idea, maybe that could be implemented by some sort of Type=dontmiss Type=catchup or similar...
