aceb5295efmoved Cosmos, Quick Setup and Credits out of the committed role READMEs and into the documentation build's own scratch checkout, so a committed copy can no longer go stale when the metadata moves. Merging feature/designer (ebad39422c) took origin/main's side of those files, which still carries them, and reinstated all 290 along with the cosmos make target and its i8cos alias. tests/lint/ansible/roles/test_readme.py hard-fails on a committed copy, and the reinstated Credits block credited one person with two URLs, which tripped the credits-attribution lint as well. Stripped with the repository's own fence-aware parser against MANAGED_SECTIONS, not with a line filter: the Cosmos block holds a mermaid fence a naive filter would cut through. The result is byte-identical toaceb5295effor every README that carries no prose change since. The cosmos target wrote the forbidden section straight back into the checkout, so it goes with them.

# Systemd Timer
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
This role configures a systemd timer to periodically start a corresponding service. It uses a Jinja2 template to create a timer unit file that specifies the scheduling parameters (such as OnCalendar and RandomizedDelaySec) and then restarts the timer service accordingly.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Optimized for automated task scheduling in a [systemd](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemd) environment, this role:
|
|
|
|
- Generates a timer unit file for a given service (using the `system_service_timer_service` variable).
|
|
- Reloads and restarts the timer using systemd to ensure that changes take effect.
|
|
- Supports dynamic configuration of scheduling parameters via variables like `system_service_on_calendar` and `RANDOMIZED_DELAY_SEC`.
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
The primary purpose of this role is to provide a reusable mechanism for scheduling recurring tasks on a system. By creating and managing a systemd timer unit, the role ensures that specified services are automatically started at defined intervals, enhancing system automation and reliability.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Dynamic Timer Configuration:** Uses a Jinja2 template to create a timer unit file based on provided variables.
|
|
- **Automated Service Management:** Automatically reloads the systemd daemon and restarts the timer when changes are detected.
|
|
- **Flexible Scheduling:** Supports configuration of parameters such as OnCalendar and RandomizedDelaySec for precise control over task timing.
|
|
- **Persistent Timers:** Optionally enables persistent timer behavior to ensure missed activations are handled.
