    Only the first one or two require more work. The rest are your copy-pastes from the last time you did one.

    Typically I only have to changed descriptions, the executable in the *service and the timing in the *timer. They’re lot more readable and flexible than the cronjobs.

    =====
    Lately I've been using systemd timers instead of cronjobs. They are easier
    to debug (journalctl) but require a bit more work to write. Systemd is
    available on Fedora & friends and Debian based systems, maybe more. It has
    no builtin MAILTO. I use an OnFailure stanza to send a Slack message with
    curl instead.
