OnCalendar is calendar-based, not interval-based.
Use a monotonic timer with
OnUnitActiveSec=7dplusPersistent=true. This is not quite the same as your cron, because it can drift the day of ghe weak.And no, it does not reset just because you reboot.
Shifting the day of the week is totally fine, since i only care about days between the job executions. Many thx, then i try my luck with this.
It seems that this doesn't work as expected. Please see my new post from today. I have found also the following issue https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/3107. According to this, a monotonic timer doesn't survive a reboot or power off. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
If I understand this correctly, only a onCalendar type can be used here. That's a little bit annoying, but as of yet, I haven't found a way around this.
oh shit thats really weird systemd design...
