[systemd-devel] timed events

[Nathan]

Hello,

I have built systemd version 26 for red hat enterprise 6.2. It works well.

I am trying to replace a half broken init system/service management
system we have running which was built in-house (and all the developers
have left)

I am even managing some daemons of my own with it successfully.

Looking at the systemd.timer documentation it seems as though all
the timers are relative. Is there any way to get absolute timers
relative to real time (cron like functionality - even in a later version?).

Another issue (though slightly related) is we have an external binary
that when run will return 0 or 1 depending if we should run a service
is there a way to run this command in the service_name.service and start 
the service if it returns 0  and stop the service if the script
returns 1 (retrying the script every 5 minutes or so).

Finally are there acls (or similar) so that user X can manage the state 
of his services and only his services?

Thanks
Nathan
