Cron is better known than a systemd timer, but you can provide an example for the timer 😃

Really, the correct way would be to set the limit you want for journald. Put this into /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/00-journal-size.conf:

[Journal]
SystemMaxUse=50M

Or something like this using a timer: systemd-run --timer-property=OnCalender=daily $COMMAND

Thanks for this addition ☺️

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!
