Hi,
Anyone here know why my override of the default OnCalendar for
updatedb.timer isn't replacing the default 00:00 with 20:12, but instead
adding to it? It's as if the ‘OnCalender=’ which is meant to clear any
existing values is having no effect.
$ systemctl cat updatedb.timer
# /usr/lib/systemd/system/updatedb.timer
[Unit]
Description=Daily locate database update
[Timer]
OnCalendar=daily
AccuracySec=12h
Persistent=true
# /etc/systemd/system/updatedb.timer.d/override.conf
[Timer]
OnCalender=
OnCalendar=20:12
Persistent=no
$
The NEXT and LAST show both are being used. The override.conf has been
unaltered for many days.
$ systemctl list-timers updatedb.timer
NEXT LEFT LAST PASSED
UNIT ACTIVATES
Wed 2020-09-09 20:12:00 BST 14h left Wed 2020-09-09 00:00:01 BST 6h ago
updatedb.timer updatedb.service
1 timers listed.
Pass --all to see loaded but inactive timers, too.

Cheers, Ralph.
