===== Run command with systemd periodically ===== If you wish to run a command periodically with ''systemd'' create a service with the following content: [Unit] Description=Autorun command After=network.target network-online.target [Service] RestartSec=30 Restart=always User= ExecStart=/command/to/be/run [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Edit ''RestartSec'' for the time (in seconds) between each run. === Restart service automatically after a pre-defined interval === Therefore add the following line to the ''system'' section of the service: RuntimeMaxSec=180s **It's required that ''Restart=always'' otherwise the service will just be interupted but won't restarted!** Adjust the runtime-interval by changing the ''180s''.
