Linux does not ship a single “timer” binary; instead it uses tools like cron, at, systemd timers, or simple utilities such as watch and sleep to trigger programs at specific times or after delays.
Cron runs recurring jobs as a background daemon, while at is suited for one‑time executions, and modern distributions rely on systemd timers that can recover missed events when a machine wakes from sleep or hibernation.
For quick, live monitoring you can keep a script running in the foreground with watch, and sleep lets you pause inside a shell script without spawning any external daemon.
The article also cautions against common mistakes—such as relying on watch for permanent jobs or assuming at survives reboots—and wraps up with a cheat sheet that pairs each tool with its most appropriate use case before encouraging readers to choose the right approach for their scheduling needs.
The guide takes you through installing OpenNMS on fresh Ubuntu or Debian systems by first making sure Java, PostgreSQL, and curl are in place. Next it walks you through adding the official OpenNMS repository—fetching the GPG key, updating apt, installing the package, running the setup script, and fixing any Postgres role hiccups that might arise. After installation it advises tightening the default configuration by tuning thread pool sizes, optionally enabling LDAP authentication, and then restarting the service to apply those changes. Finally the article shows how to confirm the service is up, add your first SNMP‑enabled device, keep the stack current with regular updates, back up the database daily, and focus on key UI dashboards for quick issue detection.
The article explains how to set up Apache Tomcat 10 on openSUSE 15 by first enabling the community repository, installing OpenJDK 17, and then using zypper to pull in the tomcat package. After pulling the bundle into /opt/apache-tomcat-10, it guides you through exporting CATALINA_HOME, refreshing your profile, and activating the systemd unit tomcat10 so the server comes up automatically at boot. The guide also highlights common pitfalls like port conflicts on 8080, mismatched Java versions that break JAVA_HOME, and AppArmor restrictions that can silently block webapp access, offering quick fixes for each issue. Finally, it suggests optional JVM tuning via setenv.sh to boost memory limits for heavier applications and encourages readers to share any snags they encounter in the comments.

The guide walks you through installing Oracle JDK 17 on openSUSE Leap 15, beginning with an explanation of why the proprietary build can be preferable to the default OpenJDK. It then gives a clear step‑by‑step recipe that starts by downloading the RPM from Oracle’s site and verifying its signature before installing it via zypper. After installation you’ll learn how to register the new Java binary with update‑alternatives, export JAVA_HOME for your shell, and confirm that the correct version is in use. Finally, the post lists common stumbling blocks—such as a misconfigured JAVA_HOME or dependency errors—and offers quick fixes so developers can get their legacy apps running smoothly.
The guide explains how a Linux user can get Microsoft OneNote running without returning to Windows by offering three distinct approaches. First, it recommends simply opening the OneNote web app in any Chromium‑based browser, noting that the site supports most core features and syncs seamlessly with an existing Microsoft account. Second, for those who prefer a desktop experience, the article walks through installing Wine and creating a dedicated prefix before downloading and running the Office 365 installer, highlighting how this method delivers full offline functionality and touch support. Finally, it mentions an unofficial Python wrapper that lets tech‑savvy users access note data programmatically via the REST API, which can be handy for automation or migration tasks but lacks a graphical interface.
