Hey @systemdUltras #systemd #systemdultras

How to pause a timer during the execution of a service?

Usecase: I have a timer that does a mail-sync every 10 or 15 minutes. I have another timer that does a backup every day at 11. During the run of the backup, I want to pause the mail-sync.

I bet there's a way to properly do this with systemd - I am just not sure what the right way is.

Btw, both of these services are user-services, if that matters.
