Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    So why not do something like

    sudo crontab -e

    And add

    0 10 * * 1 root the funy command

    Assuming your PC is always on at 10 am on mondays?

    Nothings stopping you. It achieves the same thing. Some people might just prefer this since it’s easier and gets logged in the systemd journal? The Arch wiki lists some nice benefits of using systemd timers as a replacement to cron jobs.

    Phew, I thought it would trigger the Cron Goblin
