Need: program similar to anacron.

But: as anacron is active from boot to shutdown I want it to be active only while I am logged into the window system.

No doubt I am able to write this myself. Yet before I start, I would like to be sure it does not exist.

Things I know: #cron, #anacron, #remind, #calendar.

Things still on my todo list:
- customize login screen
- look into migrating #chezmoi to #homemanager
- get printers working
...

I also need to read up more - it feels like each time I do a rebuild switch, all packages are being evaluated, and more packages => slower switch. Also, it looks like update is done by running switch again, and I might have to setup some #cron or #anacron jobs for garbage collection.

I never bothered properly setting up #logging, until now that I need to check if #fstrim is run regularly and properly.

I also had to set up #logRotation using #cron (#dcron), and I also set up #anacron (for trimming the boot partition from time to time).

@izaya @cheri There's #anacron (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacron) for this, if uptime is not guaranteed & all.

5-7 years ago was wrong. It was 2 years ago (feels far more!). And then I thought it had to do with , somehow confused that on a day when DST applied, where was an hour when it didn't.

@flub @joeyh You can schedule a systemd timer in an anacron-like fashion - "do this every day, rather than at a specific time". So when the machine is on, it will see it's been more than a day since last execution, and will run it. You can also do this without #systemd with #anacron.
