The usual way to handle both cron and systemd timers is to move most of the logic in the cron script into a script in /usr then make the cron script exit under systemd or call the /usr script under sysvinit and then add a systemd timer and service that calls the /usr script. An example of this approach is in the apt package, I think you could use most of that as-is but adjusting names for the popcon cron job: /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily.service /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily.timer /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.service /lib/systemd/system/apt-daily-upgrade.timer The systemd.directives manual page can be used to look up where individual settings in the systemd service/timer files are documented. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
