systemd timer

Need to things:

I placed the script in ~/bin

script:

vector@SINGAPORE-WS:~/.config/systemd$ cat delete-tmp-img.sh
#!/bin/bash

find /home/vector/website/html/ri/ -mmin +5 -type f -exec rm -fv {} \;

I placed the .service in ~/.config/systemd/user/

service:

[Unit]
Description=Remove the temp images

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/home/vector/bin/delete-tmp-img.sh

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I placed the .timer in the same place as .service file, in:

$HOME/.config/systemd/user/

timer:

[Unit]
Description=Execute delete-tmp-img.service every 5 minutes

[Timer]
OnBootSec=0min
OnCalendar=*:0/15

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

I checked that everything works with:

systemctl --user list-unit-files

To make sure the unit files were deteted. And if they weren't:

systemctl --user daemon-reload

And then individually testing each unit file:

systemctl start --user delete-tmp-img.service

systemctl --user start delete-tmp-img.timer

After ensuring the above two commands worked with problems, I enable the module:

systemctl --user enable systemd-tmpfiles-clean.timer

Disable PAM for systemd timer

In /etc/ssh/ssh_config

UsePAM yes

This should be set.
