[Nix-dev] Systemd User Timers: timerConfig section?

I don't know if it is missing for user timer units but there is a
timerConfig. However defining repeating timers in systemd is weird so I
have included an example that I use below.

systemd.timers.sysstat-journald = {
	wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
	timerConfig = {
		OnBootSec = "1m";
		OnUnitActiveSec = "20s";
		AccuracySec = "1s";
	};
};

The key elements are "OnBootSec" which is when to run the first timer
after boot, and "OnUnitActiveSec" which is how long to wait before
running it again.

Hope that helps.##SELECTION_END##
