Hello everyone,
I’m using MicroOS in a prod env, and I really need the OS doesn’t reboot during the week.
Surfing the web i found the services who update and reboot the OS: transactional-update.timer and rebootmgr.service.
How can I set the services to trigger only on sunday?
i don’t really want to disable these type of services so as not to reduce system security
Thanks a lot for answering
Did you read that: Kubic:Update and Reboot - openSUSE Wiki
and the linked man-pages?
From how I understand it you can set a maintenance window in rebootmgr but that’s like a daily time in which a reboot could take place if the service is triggered.
If you are sure that the transactional-update.timer is the only thing that triggers rebootmgr you could schedule that on Sundays. The format in a systemd timer could look like this (as given by the example from the link above):
[Timer]
#the first entry is to delete existing timer, else only a new one is added additional
OnCalendar=
OnCalendar=Sun 08:00
to just run the transaction-update.timer on Sundays at 08:00h.
If you have the whole Sunday free for reboots, from how I understand the description, you could set the rebootmgr to “instantly” to start the reboot after the rebootmgr got triggered.
But that is just what I concluded by reading the link and the man pages. So, please double check whether everything is working as expected and if rebootmgr is really just triggered by transactional-update.timer.
Thank you so mutch!
I didn’t find the article before
I’ve followed this steps
cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/transactional-update.timer /etc/systemd/system
nano /etc/systemd/system/transactional-update.timer
and edited this part
...
[Timer]
OnCalendar=Sun 04:00
...
...
And it looks working! (after a reboot)
Thank you again
