+Managed similarly to a unit. So we can start/stop/enable them etc.

+List: `systemctl list-timers [--all]`
+
+**Realtime Timers**; same as cron. Use `OnCalendar`
+**Monotonic Timers**; Varying start point, then interval. E.g `OnBootSec` specifies start x seconds after boot.
+
+Each `foo.timer` has a `foo.service` which it calls. Service doesn't need install section. Timer can call different unit by `[Timer] Unit=`
