I think generally people view timers as a net superior alternative to crons: they have better logic for the times, they support dependencies, they support randomized delays, etc. Why do you think they're a real mess?
- k_bx 4y agoI guess their UX for a simple cron-like use-case. I remember trying to set it up and it wasn't a great experience. Just trying to see if others agree or not.
- dinosaurdynasty 4y agoThe arch wiki has really good documentation on them. And they are so much more debuggable than cron it's insane, they are a lot easier for anything non-trivial.
