SYNOPSIS

systemctl list-timers [OPTIONS] [PATTERN...]

systemctl list-timers displays timer units currently active in memory. The output shows next activation time, time until activation, last trigger time, time since last trigger, the timer unit, and the unit it activates.Timer units are systemd's replacement for cron, providing scheduled activation of services with more flexibility and better logging integration.

CAVEATS

Times are relative to the current time. Transient timers created with `systemd-run` also appear here. Some system timers run very infrequently (weekly, monthly).

HISTORY

The list-timers subcommand provides an overview of scheduled tasks, replacing traditional `crontab -l` listings with richer information about timing and triggered services.
