Re: [Dorset] How to Cancel Existing systemd.timer(5) OnCalendar Values.

Hi Patrick,

Nope!  Thanks, that fixes it.

    $ 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]
    OnCalendar=
    OnCalendar=20:12
    Persistent=no
    $
    $ systemctl show updatedb.timer | grep OnCalendar=
    TimersCalendar={ OnCalendar=*-*-* 20:12:00 ;
        next_elapse=Wed 2020-09-09 20:12:00 BST }
    $

Now I just have to work out why updatedb.conf(5)'s PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS
doesn't seem to have an effect.  :-)
