Cron Job Instructions for Debian

[gesteves91]

First of all, I would like to say that I loved this project. Thanks a lot for developing it. However, I have one question for the developers, would you guys bother to add installation instructions about the cron job for the Debian based distros (such as Ubuntu) in the README.

Hi @gesteves91, it appears that @adi1090x has abandoned this project (the last commit was in January), but I have continued development in my fork Dynamic Wallpaper Improved. Feel free to open your issue there so I can take a look at it!

@gesteves91 , maybe he didn't... He is an Indian and by judging the current condition of india, he may be really really sick, you know... Maybe he's on the bed, with a mask on his nose.

Anyway, good work, keep it up... I'll resume this stuff, If I'm not dead.

@adi1090x I hope everything is well with you in India (or at least going to be soon)! 😷 I did not mean to pressure you into doing anything regardless of your current condition, but simply to redirect issues to my fork - You don't have to pick the project up again if you don't want to, that's what the FOSS community is about! 😄 Anyway, I hope you'll get better real soon 😇

Thanks @GitGangGuy for the suggestion. I am going to take a look at your fork @adi1090x I hope you are doing all right down there About this issue, I actually found a solution to install in Debian-based distros. I only needed to use the command sudo systemctl enable cron, and the rest of the tutorial works great from there Again it would be nice to have it in the README, but it is not really an issue Thanks guys

Any particular reason someone couldn't use systemd-timer instead of cron?

very much subjective, as long as you create a job to do the thing.
