systab -e has very much become part of my workflow for dealing with systemd timers and services.

It now colors the output a little and there is a nvim syntax highlighing extra.

I've always hated the gap in cumbersomeness between creating cronjobs and systemd timers, and always wished I could set a timer up as easily as I can stick a new line in the crontab. Having something bridge that gap would be the best of both worlds.

That's why I built systab ๐Ÿคช. I needed to take the pain out of it.

Haha. I'm fine with systemd now. Still feel it's over-engineered, but at least my script makes it tolerable.
