Anacron ???

HelloX

Hello all,
I'm a new Solus user. I just installed Solus 4.7 and I want to configure automatic tasks for my user account.
With Linux Mint (or other debian/Ubuntu based distributions) I use anacron to program tasks, but it seems it does not exist with Solus.
So, is it possible to install anacron, or is there an other solution to launch scripts automatically?
Thanks for your help.

We don't really support the use of crontab/anacron, but you can do similiar things using systemd timers or services.

I wasn't aware of systemd timers until now, but a quick search resulted in the following articles, which I thought were quite useful. They may be of some use to you:

Thank you for your help. Yes systemd will be the solution for me. It seems easy to configure.
