Just learned of timers the other day, but I’m a cron guy, anybody out there using timers? Anything I’m missing out on?

    It’s more than just power state, you can also toggle based on the state of other units (which you could chain normally too, but not time based) so you could start a service 10 minutes after another service has ran to completion, or after it’s died, etc.

      This is the only case in which I use timers, really, when I want something to run on startup, every once in a while, but only after it’s confirmed that the internet is up.
