- Spivak 5y agoI really don’t think having timers is the best example of this. systemd at it’s core is a resource monitor — a tool that sets up and babysits different types of things — processes, mounts, sockets, scheduled tasks, devices, etc. and manages the dependencies that exist between them. It fits right in with the other stuff.
