Is this the real output from systemd-cron? Then it should be fixed: 1. Exec* need their first argument to be a full path. 2. Exec* are not executed via a shell. IIRC, crontab lines can include shell constructs. Systemd-cron should generate units that use a shell (eg, /bin/sh -c 'foo'). -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
