[systemd-devel] Timers without matching units?

[Ivan Shapovalov]

Hi,

The systemd.timer(5) manpage states:

"For each timer file, a matching unit file must exist, describing the unit to
activate when the timer elapses."

However, if I need the timer unit just to wake up the machine (e. g. I have a
GUI alarm which does everything except configuring the wakealarm), I don't
need the timer unit to start something else. Does this sound like a valid
reason to make timers' Unit= optional?
