Or just cron that calls a logger works well enough

I generally like some things that syatemd gives, but is there an easier way to create timed automations with systemd timers?

with cron, its just a single line with the recurrence pattern and the command. with systemd, you have to create a timer unit file with several lines, a service unit file with several lines, put them in the right directory, reload systemd, enable the timer. timers are not difficult, but much more convoluted than the crontab. if you have to make multiple pairs, or update something in them, it gets old fast.

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.
