I am on Mint XFCE and Redshift is just so inconsistent and I have tried its forks, also inconsistent. So instead I have been using sct in the terminal to adjust the temperature, and have set a command that resets it back to normal every time that I log on. However, I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that “sct 2750” runs every day at 10 pm or during a specific period of time.
Idk i remember reading that theres a new way. Maybe it isnt deprecated? Yes systemd timers is the new way
systemd timers are not actually universal. not everyone uses systemd, some use sysvinit, openrc, etc. systemd timers are also much more difficult to set up.
cron is not “deprecated” and is still widely used industrially and locally.
