2.1. Daily copying of files

The snap includes example Systemd service and timer files that can be used to set up a daily update of the picked files.

$ ls /snap/pick-files/current/usr/share/pick-files/pick-files-daily*
pick-files-daily.service pick-files-daily.timer

Run

$ systemctl edit --user --force --full pick-files-daily.service

and copy the contents of the example service file from the snap. Repeat with the timer.

Then

$ systemctl enable --user pick-files-daily.timer
$ systemctl start --user pick-files-daily.timer

will start the timer. The output of the pick-files command will be in the journal and can be checked with

$ journalctl --identifier pick-files
