Hey fellow Artix devs,
I’m working on a small CLI tool (https://calculadoradedias.com/vividos/) that relies on some features usually tied to systemd (specifically journald and timers). I’d like to package it for Artix and make it more init-agnostic.
Has anyone here dealt with converting systemd-tied software into something that works smoothly with OpenRC or Runit?
I'm considering using cronie for timers and syslog-ng or plain file logging instead of journald. But curious if there’s a clean pattern or wrapper that’s preferred within the Artix packaging philosophy.
Appreciate any thoughts or advice!

The UNIX way, easy:
systemd-timers -> cron
logging: syslog(3) and let the local logger catch the messages
