You can also find more documentation on the official systemd website, or Gentoo, CoreOS, and RedHat's website.

As an example: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd#Timer_services

I'm confused, unless I'm missing something, both of those pages seem to describe exactly the process mbreedlove described:

    1) create systemd service to call your script
    2) create a systemd timer to call that service

What did you do differently?

I didn't say I did anything different, I said it wasn't that difficult.
