08/21/2023, 9:50 AM(no idea if that renders fine, there is no preview link and I am lazy, but I guess you know what you're doing) - v

08/21/2023, 9:52 AMyeah a preview would be nice :( - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 9:53 AMif only github would be nicely integrated with some simple page hosting service… - v

08/21/2023, 9:53 AMyeah :( - v

08/21/2023, 9:54 AM(one of the reasons I still host my stuff on netflify, they actually have preview integration in github) - v

08/21/2023, 2:57 PManyone implemented something like this for systemd timers? https://github.com/voxpupuli/puppet-systemd/issues/374 - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:05 PManarcat: not as far as I know - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:06 PMi wonder if someone has something hidden in their profiles to ease the transition fron cron resources - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:06 PMwould be pretty awesome to have a drop-in shim - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:06 PMcomplete with removal of the old resource :) - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:07 PMdidnt use cron in years - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:08 PMcron syntax is still not that bad - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:08 PMyes - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:08 PMbut cron is - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:08 PMand that does sound like what anarcat is asking: convert cron syntax to timer syntax - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:08 PMI do think cron by default has easier monitoring which systemd doesn't - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:09 PMlike email notifications - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:10 PMi don't like email notifications :p - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:11 PManyway, i'm excited about this - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:11 PMwell, they're not great in large fleets and maybe I never adapted a good pattern for tracking systemd timer failures, but it's not obvious to me - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:11 PMbut, as usual, i have no frigging clue where to start with unit tests :p - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:11 PMright, i can imagine - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:11 PMbut that's a problem to solve separately anyway :) - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:12 PMi mean if you're not going to convert to systemd timers, you're not in the systemd:⏲️:cron conversation :) - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:12 PMthis thing is not "we're going to reimplement cron in systemd" it's "you already know the tradeoffs and decided to do it" - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:12 PMfor big environments I like the systemd_exporter - v
VoxBot
08/21/2023, 3:13 PMto be clear: I do use timers in some places, but feel like it's an area that holds me back on fully converting
