+===== Run command with systemd periodically =====
+If you wish to run a command periodically with ''systemd'' create a service with the following content:
+<code bash>
+[Unit]
+Description=Autorun command
+After=network.target network-online.target
+[Service]
+RestartSec=30
+Restart=always
+User=<user>
+ExecStart=/command/to/be/run
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+</code>
+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:
+<code bash>
+RuntimeMaxSec=180s
+</code>
+**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''.
