You have the choice between (A) traditional cron configuration in either /etc/cron.d or in crontab file, and (B) the systemd.timer. For systemd you can find an article from the following link, and the relevant man pages are 'man 5 systemd.timer' and 'man 7 systemd.time'. Latter manual contains the format of scheduling definitions. https://opensource.com/article/20/7/systemd-timers The basic idea is to have a service that is started explicitely (Type=oneshot) and a timer providing a schedule for the service. In the most simple setup the service and the time have the same basename. BR, Roland
