[systemd-devel] Can I use an EnvironmentFile to configure a Timer?

[Windl, Ulrich]

Hi!

I have a service and timer template where the service instances are configured via an environment file like etc/.../%i.conf.
The timer template will use the @%i.service unit, but currently has a fixed "OnCalendar=daily" currently.
As the instances might want to run with a different frequency, one could "edit" the time files.
However I had the idea to read the timer interval from an environment variable like "OnCalendat=${interval}".
However, AFAIK, environment variables are supported in service units only, right?

Regards,
Ulrich
