Just released systab — a single-file Bash script that gives you a cron-like interface for systemd user timers.

If you've ever wanted the simplicity of crontab but the power of systemd timers, this might be for you. Natural language schedules, desktop/email notifications, a crontab-style editor, and persistent services — all without leaving the terminal.

@opennomad@mastodon.social a bit too late for me, but this looks awesome!

@furicle thanks. it's funny what can motivate you, but i really was missing the ease of `crontab -e`

[opennomad@mastodon.social]

@a thanks. what do mean by too late? did you build your own solution?

@opennomad@mastodon.social I moved to dagu, but I did use systemd timers extensively
