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 environment, this role:
- Generates a timer unit file for a given service (using the
system_service_timer_servicevariable). - 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_calendarandRANDOMIZED_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.
