The content of /usr/lib/systemd/system/exim4-base.timer is

[Unit]
Description=Daily exim4-base housekeeping
Documentation=man:exim4(8)
Before=logrotate.timer

[Timer]
OnCalendar=daily
AccuracySec=12h
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

It talks about housekeeping and documentation at man 8 exim4, but there is no visible action connected to this unit.

So, is this just some placeholder? Or am I missing something?

Just in case it is relevant, I am using Ubuntu 20.04, exim4 4.93 and systemd 245.

  • @Rinzwind Yes, this is done via cron. But I don't see the connection to exim4-base.timer. Since cron already takes care of this, there's no need for some systemd timer. – Olaf Dietsche Aug 22 '21 at 12:31
