Kind thanks, Zbyszek. Forgive init script habits. Systemd docs need
execution flowcharts. Maybe a wiki for best practice XDG? Setting up
users is basic sysadmin.
Reviewing pam_env, is /etc/environment a decent place to set XDG vars?
$USER works from there, yes? I guess $HOME/.pam_environment
Might some expert address:

It seems systemd pushes hard-wired paths irrespective of XDG vars, a
possible bug.
On this box XDG_DATA_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME point outside $HOME, while
XDG_CONFIG_HOME is the default ~/.config folder. XDG_DATA_DIRS

Excellent question, and no, I'm not sure.
If you can tell me how to determine the
answer, please do.

I'm getting script failures and wondering why. The script runs well stand-alone.
It must have boot sequencing issues.

You can likely create a timer unit, and start that once...Auke
Maybe, but I nurse doubts given systemctl oddities under discussion. Try
it and see what you can do, then post working code as I did. I drove at
this idea earlier talking about a second timer, but sounded muddled, I
gather.
Thanks!
Simple at did the trick from nightjanitor.sh
echo systemctl start reboot.target | at now + 3 min
If a more purist systemd method exists, I'd love to see it.

Andrey Borzenkov,
May be if you explain what you are trying to achieve
A nightly cron job with post-execution reboot upon successful completion.
We may use cron if systemd can't do it. I expect it can, but know not how.
Obvious things and list advice didn't work. Thanks.
Files under test:
Tried all advice so far, no dice, but thanks. A more advanced
timer/service layout may be needful in this rev of systemd (204), though
I'm fairly clueless what.
Last try was
( sleep 30 systemctl --no-block start reboot.target )
If anyone succeeds making something work, please post and thank
How to reboot from a systemd timer? We have
systemd timer calls
systemd unit calls
bash script calls
systemctl reboot
The script runs fine each day, except for its last step, systemctl
reboot. What's the right protocol? Is it wrong to call systemctl from a
script?
Thanks

Jan Alexander Steffens,
So in this timer, where/how apply reboot.target,
or else tell systemd to invoke? Thx

Question: how to boot ntpd.service on one PC and not others from the
same USB stick.
Network Time Service computes clock tweaks for a motherboard. The idea
is to run it on just one motherboard brand/model, or maybe serial
number. If the USB stick boots another PC, then ntpd is bypassed,
because
I guess it depends on how generic you want it to be. If you need to
sync a single filesystem with fixed name, ExecStartPre for a unit that
starts logon dialogue looks a right choice.
Andrey I haven't a clue what you said. I hoped some guru might write a
unit. I don't imagine one needs more
Here's the question (systemd version 197).

Might the answer involve two units, a mount and a service? Thanks much.
