So the `OnCalendar` stanza is the same as a Cron job; without the helpful comments of the ordering? And that is considered _easier_?? Just use Cron. It does on

So the `OnCalendar` stanza is the same as a Cron job; without the helpful comments of the ordering? And that is considered _easier_?? Just use Cron. It does one thing and does it well.

The systemd one supports timezones. You can say America/Denver and the like, or Etc/UTC

  1) Your production equipment doesn't have its TZ set to UTC? Enjoy dealing with the intermittent and irregular hassle of DST changes, I guess. 2) From the crontab(5) on my system: The CRON_TZ variable specifies the time zone specific for the cron ta‐ ble. The user should enter a time according to the specified time zone into the table. The time used for writing into a log file is taken from the local time zone, where the daemon is running. If you have a job you need scheduled in a different timezone, dump a new file in /etc/cron.d, alter its CRON_TZ variable and go to town, as it were.
