If systemd timers, journald and cockpit already cover your needs, RunWisp probably isnt for you. RunWisp is aimed at people who want portable TOML-defined tasks and services with unified history, logs and alerts. you’re right that ACLs are currently missing, but access is protected by password authentication and the UI can only trigger commands already defined on the host.
Yes but... Systemd timers are INI-defined tasks and services with unified history and logs, the alerts can be easily added with any alerting system.
yeah, thats fair, systemd + cockpit with alerts can cover pretty much the same ground. What RunWisp brings is the integrated cross-platform package and UX. Nobody is claiming that those underlying capabilities are impossible to assemble elsewhere.
But why does it need a cross platform package when systemd is available everywhere? What UX is better than the already existing cockpit?
is systemd available for windows and mac?
windows, yes: https://learn.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/systemd
for Mac you should probably use macOS's launchd services: https://www.launchd.info/
