Only the first one or two require more work. The rest are your copy-pastes from the last time you did one.
Typically I only have to changed descriptions, the executable in the *service and the timing in the *timer. They’re lot more readable and flexible than the cronjobs.

Holzer <hjp-pyt...@hjp.at> Cc: python-list@python.org <python-list@python.org> ===== Lately I've been using systemd timers instead of cronjobs. They are easier to debug (journalctl) but require a bit more work to write. Systemd is available on Fedora & friends and Debian based systems, maybe more. It has no builtin MAILTO. I use an OnFailure stanza to send a Slack message with curl instead. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.timer.html__;!!Cn_UX_p3!l6ZRc2Ur6rwspaC1V71wsENqmq5RNIR3lU2suC1LJLzYp097e-r2NwNBD3a_RhjuUkrSmfq3emmUsY-1m0PxT2TM$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.timer.html__;!!Cn_UX_p3!l6ZRc2Ur6rwspaC1V71wsENqmq5RNIR3lU2suC1LJLzYp097e-r2NwNBD3a_RhjuUkrSmfq3emmUsY-1m0PxT2TM$> https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/278564/cron-vs-systemd-timers__;!!Cn_UX_p3!l6ZRc2Ur6rwspaC1V71wsENqmq5RNIR3lU2suC1LJLzYp097e-r2NwNBD3a_RhjuUkrSmfq3emmUsY-1m6sDQHR0$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/unix.stackexchange.com/questions/278564/cron-vs-systemd-timers__;!!Cn_UX_p3!l6ZRc2Ur6rwspaC1V71wsENqmq5RNIR3lU2suC1LJLzYp097e-r2NwNBD3a_RhjuUkrSmfq3emmUsY-1m6sDQHR0$> -- https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list__;!!Cn_UX_p3!l6ZRc2Ur6rwspaC1V71wsENqmq5RNIR3lU2suC1LJLzYp097e-r2NwNBD3a_RhjuUkrSmfq3emmUsY-1m3Q-bOmf$<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list__;!!Cn_UX_p3!l6ZRc2Ur6rwspaC1V71wsENqmq5RNIR3lU2suC1LJLzYp097e-r2NwNBD3a_RhjuUkrSmfq3emmUsY-1m3Q-bOmf$> -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
