Oh look I just found this posted here already /sigh..

So many questions I could have not asked of @stacksofplates, had I recalled this thread.

I honestly forgot I posted that.

There really need to be a setting for this in the Workstation GUI.

By default Fedora Workstation + Cinnamon uses dnfdragora which is a totally separate process.

Yes, I realize that.
This setting exists in Cockpit, no reason why it can't be in WS!

@stacksofplates said in Systemd timers instead of cron:

Now just enable each one
systemctl enable backup-tower backup-pbx backup.target backup.timer

I'm not sure how this works.
Why wouldn't you just enable the backup.timer? Why add everything else in there?
I'm not clear on how it's all linked.

Yeah you don't. I honestly don't remember why I had it this way. Could have just been an accident. Was quite a while ago.

systemd has got this since early development. this, among other things (PID 1 master process...etc), was one of the reasons Poettering designed systemd. It borrowed this idea from other systems like this

So after building a new NFS/SMB vm (and deleting the old one) the new system seems fine.

Something must've got corrupted because of the smartctl errors.

If I am using windows machine to check the machine in the Vmware means What can I do ???

If you know that it is Vmware, you already know.

Seems to be that way.

They sure have. This is one of the worst situations that Linux has faced, ever. People are really upset.

I guess I don't know why large distributions are using Systemd if it is pretty much universally reviled by the community.

Gnome requires it going forward.

Hard to really be easier than the SysV system. All that was was running through a list of commands alphabetically. About as basic as it gets.
