If I have a systemd timer to run in a recurring interval, is there a way to configure it to activate after a certain amount of system uptime? Rather than just relative to the last time it was run. This would be useful for something like sending a report from the system which depends on how much data the system generated, which depends on how long the system was up.



I'd like any way to tell it to run after every 1 hour of the system being online. So if it runs then the system shuts off 5 minutes later for a day, when the system turns back on it should run next after 55 more minutes.

    Your example and your request are mutually exclusive: It it a typo? as "when the system turns back on it should run next after 55 more minutes" should say "65 minutes" going on your description. Please edit your question and clarify? 0:-)
