LPIC-1 Exam 102 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 75

Which of the following statements is true regarding systemd timer units?

Answer options

• A. Timer units can only be defined within a service unit's file.
• B. The command executed by the timer is specified in the timer unit's [Cmd] section.
• C. A dedicated system service, systemd-cron, handles the execution of timer units.
• D. Timer units only exist in the system scope and are not available for users.
• E. Each systemd timer unit controls a specific systemd service unit.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because each systemd timer unit is explicitly designed to trigger a corresponding service unit. The other options are incorrect as timer units can be defined independently, do not use a [Cmd] section, are not handled by systemd-cron, and can exist in user scope as well.
