Just released systab — a single-file Bash script that gives you a cron-like interface for systemd user timers.

If you've ever wanted the simplicity of crontab but the power of systemd timers, this might be for you. Natural language schedules, desktop/email notifications, a crontab-style editor, and persistent services — all without leaving the terminal.

@opennomad oooh! I feel seen. It's easy to write a crontab from memory but setting up a systemd timer needs me to actually look stuff up and no one likes that ... :D

@troed ,right? 2 files and a bunch of scaffolding to make the computer go ding in 20 minutes ... i know that systemd does soooo much more then systemd, but it certainly isn't nearly as convenient as `crontab -e`
