From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can use OnFailure in your .service file if you want some thing to happen when that specific service fails, but I don't know if there's a blanket way to tell systemd to notify via email when any failure happens (I wouldn't mind a desktop notification... will investigate)

When I checked a long time ago, there wasn't.

And not only failures, often it's useful to get mail for all executions.

I guess cron continues to have its place.
