💅 ClusterTools2-timer — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay bestie, so real quick before we dive in: this whole page lives in section 7 of the ClusterTools2 manual, and it's genuinely just a little tutorial page about a systemd timer that collects data for you. that's the vibe. it's short, it's sweet, let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ClusterTools2-timer — a systemd timer example for collecting data. yes, that's literally the whole name line, she's lowkey an icon for being that concise 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so ClusterTools2-timer is a systemd timer example for collecting data. that's it. that's the description. it's giving "confident, minimal, doesn't over-explain herself" and honestly? slay. ✨

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

this is the good part, the main character section, the part you actually came for 👑

  • Enabling the pre-defined ClusterTools2-timer timer — you just start it up, no cap:
# systemctl start ClusterTools2-timer.timer
  • Showing journal entries since a given time — time-travel but make it logs 🦋:
# journalctl -S "2020-11-18 11:18:00"
  • Showing journal entries for ClusterTools2-timer — just this unit's receipts, nothing else:
# journalctl -u ClusterTools2-timer
  • Creating a custom monitoring service — okay this is the DIY era, you're copying the service file into your own user directory, editing it in vi, then reloading and restarting the timer so the changes actually land 💖:
# cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/ClusterTools2-timer.service
/etc/systemd/user/
# vi /etc/systemd/user/ClusterTools2-timer.service
  ...
# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart ClusterTools2-timer.timer
ngl, that cp line gets wrapped by the terminal and it looks a little chaotic, but that's exactly how it's written in the original — one command, visually split across two lines. no edits from me, periodt 🫡

🦋 FILES 🦋

the receipts, the locations, the whole map 🗺️

  • /usr/lib/sbin/ClusterTools2-timer — the default script to run
  • /usr/lib/systemd/system/ClusterTools2-timer.timer — the timer definition
  • /usr/lib/systemd/system/ClusterTools2-timer.service — the service definition
  • /etc/systemd/user/ — the directory for custom service definitions
