We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+. Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within systemd. The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT. The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>A unit configuration file whose name ends in
|
|
<filename>.timer</filename> encodes information about
|
|
a timer controlled and supervised by systemd, for
|
|
timer-based activation.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>This man page lists the configuration options
|
|
specific to this unit type. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for the common options of all unit configuration
|
|
files. The common configuration items are configured
|
|
in the generic [Unit] and [Install] sections. The
|
|
timer specific configuration options are configured in
|
|
the [Timer] section.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>For each timer file, a matching unit file must
|
|
exist, describing the unit to activate when the timer
|
|
elapses. By default, a service by the same name as the
|
|
timer (except for the suffix) is activated. Example: a
|
|
timer file <filename>foo.timer</filename> activates a
|
|
matching service <filename>foo.service</filename>. The
|
|
unit to activate may be controlled by
|
|
<varname>Unit=</varname> (see below).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Unless <varname>DefaultDependencies=</varname>
|
|
is set to <option>false</option>, timer units will
|
|
implicitly have dependencies of type
|
|
<varname>Conflicts=</varname> and
|
|
<varname>Before=</varname> on
|
|
<filename>shutdown.target</filename>. These ensure
|
|
that timer units are stopped cleanly prior to system
|
|
shutdown. Only timer units involved with early boot or
|
|
late system shutdown should disable this
|
|
option.</para>

<title>Options</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Timer files must include a [Timer] section,
|
|
which carries information about the timer it
|
|
defines. The options specific to the [Timer] section
|
|
of timer units are the following:</para>
|
|
|
|
<variablelist>
|
|
<varlistentry>
|
|
<term><varname>OnActiveSec=</varname></term>
|

<term><varname>OnStartupSec=</varname></term>
|
|
<term><varname>OnUnitActiveSec=</varname></term>
|
|
<term><varname>OnUnitInactiveSec=</varname></term>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para>Defines timers
|
|
relative to different starting points:
|
|
<varname>OnActiveSec=</varname> defines a
|
|
timer relative to the moment the timer
|
|
itself is
|
|
activated. <varname>OnBootSec=</varname>
|
|
defines a timer relative to when the
|
|
machine was booted
|
|
up. <varname>OnStartupSec=</varname>
|
|
defines a timer relative to when
|
|
systemd was
|
|
started. <varname>OnUnitActiveSec=</varname>
|
|
defines a timer relative to when the
|
|
unit the timer is activating was last
|
|
activated. <varname>OnUnitInactiveSec=</varname>
|
|
defines a timer relative to when the
|
|
unit the timer is activating was last
|
|
deactivated.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Multiple directives may be
|
|
combined of the same and of different
|
|
types. For example, by combining
|
|
<varname>OnBootSec=</varname> and
|
|
<varname>OnUnitActiveSec=</varname> it is
|
|
possible to define a timer that
|
|
elapses in regular intervals and
|
|
activates a specific service each
|
|
time.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The arguments to the directives
|
|
are time spans configured in
|
|
seconds. Example: "OnBootSec=50" means
|
|
50s after boot-up. The argument may
|
|
also include time units. Example:
|
|
"OnBootSec=5h 30min" means 5 hours and 30
|
|
minutes after boot-up. For details
|
|
about the syntax of time spans see
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.unit</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If a timer configured with
|
|
<varname>OnBootSec=</varname> or
|
|
<varname>OnStartupSec=</varname> is
|
|
already in the past when the timer
|
|
unit is activated, it will immediately
|
|
elapse and the configured unit is
|
|
started. This is not the case for
|
|
timers defined in the other
|
|
directives.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<para>These are monotonic timers,
|
|
independent of wall-clock time and timezones. If the
|
|
computer is temporarily suspended, the
|
|
monotonic clock stops too.</para>

service that has the same name as the
