Subject: [pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-docs] pmgqm: add example for systemd.timer edit
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2022 12:45:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221213114548.6504-1-s.ivanov@proxmox.com> (raw)

The resetting of OnCalendar can be a bit confusing for users, who are
not familiar with the intricacies of systemd overrides.
Add a simple example to address a common use-case, and point to the
relevant man pages for more details.
