But I seem to need features of each. |

I think so, this is what systemd.timer(5) says: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Multiple directives may be combined of the same and of different types. For |
| 19 |
example, by |
| 20 |
combining OnBootSec= and OnUnitActiveSec=, it is possible to define a timer |
| 21 |
that elapses in |
| 22 |
regular intervals and activates a specific service each time. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
There's also sys-process/systemd-cron that works like a regular cron and seems |
| 25 |
to work fine for me but I haven't tested it depth. |
