Is it possible to use a systemd timer unit to start and stop a service unit according to set times of the day? In my case, openvpn.service is a forking type if that matters. I can do this using cron, but am wondering if/how to do it with systemd natively.
In cron terms, one could do this like so: # start at 7 AM * 7 * * * systemctl start openvpn.service # stop at 5 PM * 17 * * * systemctl stop openvnp.service The syntax of the timer with differential commands (ie start the service at 7 AM and stop it at 5 PM) isn't clear to me even after consulting `man systemd.time` and `man systemd.timer`. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
