Bug 504540 – net-analyzer/munin - add systemd units for munin-cron

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Emery Hemingway 2014-03-14 02:12:04 UTC]

Attached are systemd units to start munin-cron every five minutes with systemd rather than cron.

They are installed with systemd_dounit, and can be activated with `systemctl start munin-cron.timer`.

Reproducible: Always

I am sure if we really need this (and, also, why we need this every 5 minutes :/), wouldn't this be something completely up to the user?

Its what cron was doing before:
*/5    * * * *         /usr/bin/munin-cron

Munin-cron goes out and asks nodes for updates, running it every five minutes is quite normal.

But I doubt we should provide this kind of cron replacement from the distribution, it looks to me like something up to the user

@systemd, any thoughts?
