Here is an example that I use:
$ systemctl --user cat mail-maintenance.timer
# /home/barry-mail/.config/systemd/user/mail-maintenance.timer
[Unit]
Description=mail maintenance
[Timer]
OnCalendar=02:45
#OnCalendar=14:45
$ systemctl --user cat mail-maintenance.service
# /home/barry-mail/.config/systemd/user/mail-maintenance.service
[Unit]
Description=mail maintenance
[Service]
Type=oneshot
# use a shared lock while do the main actions
# which include stopping dovecot etc.
ExecStart=flock -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/dovecot.service
%h/fetchmail/mail-maintenance.sh maintenance
# use a exclusive lock to make sure that there are no other main-maintenance
# services running in maintenance mode before turning dovecot back on
ExecStartPost=flock -x /usr/lib/systemd/system/dovecot.service
%h/fetchmail/mail-maintenance.sh post_dovecot
ExecStartPost=%h/fetchmail/mail-maintenance.sh post_fetchmail
The OnCalendar can have a timezone on it like this:
OnCalendar=02:45 UTC
man systemd.time details the format accepted.
